Speed ​​of ‘Ilsan New Town Redevelopment’… Baeksong Village’s first special development zone is now in sight.

Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, is accelerating the designation of special maintenance zones including the Seondo District of Ilsan New Town and subsequent districts.

Among the four sites selected as leading districts, Baeksong Village completed deliberation by the Urban Planning Committee last month.

It is scheduled to be designated as the first special maintenance zone in Ilsan New Town as early as this year.

Goyang City's 'Ilsan Old Planned City Redevelopment Project' is a project to improve the residential environment by reorganizing old planned cities with an area of ​​over 1 million square meters that have been in use for more than 20 years since the development of a residential land development district.

The city established and announced a basic maintenance plan in June last year, and is currently proceeding with the process to designate a special maintenance area in accordance with the 'Special Act on Maintenance and Support of Old Planned Cities'.

The city has selected four of the 48 Ilsan reconstruction sites, including Hugok, Gangchon, Baeksong, and Jeongbal Village, as lead districts and has been pursuing the designation of special development zones as a priority, and is also pursuing follow-up districts from January of this year.

Baeksong Village, which currently has the fastest speed, completed deliberation by the Urban Planning Committee last month.

If the district takes action on the deliberation and conditional resolution, the decision on the special maintenance plan and designation of the special maintenance zone will be announced for the first time in Ilsan New Town as early as this year.

Baeksong Village will be renovated from an existing complex of 2,732 households into a complex of 3,686 households with a maximum of 49 floors.

Hugok Village, another Seondo district, and Gangchon and Baekma Villages in the follow-up districts have also completed deliberation by the Landscape Committee and are currently preparing for deliberation by the Urban Planning Committee, while Gangchon Village in Seondo District is scheduled to hear opinions from the city council next month.

The city is focusing on improving the completeness of the special maintenance plan in order to proceed with efficient procedures.

Prior to resident proposals required for designation of special maintenance areas, expert advice on the draft special maintenance plan and prior consultation with relevant departments are being conducted.

Expert consultation is currently underway in three follow-up districts. After the consultation, when the special maintenance plan (draft) is completed, a decision on the special maintenance plan and designation of a special maintenance area will be proposed with the consent of the majority of land owners.

After designation of a special maintenance area, we plan to streamline administrative procedures and carry out maintenance projects efficiently.

Maintenance projects such as redevelopment and reconstruction usually took more than 10 years from initial zone designation to completion due to complex administrative procedures and various regulations.

In particular, the process of individual deliberation, such as landscape review and architectural review, takes several months to several years at each stage, which has been pointed out as a major cause of delays in maintenance projects.

Accordingly, the city has been operating an 'Integrated Deliberation Committee' to conduct various deliberations that were dispersed in one place starting in July 2025.

The Ilsan old planned city maintenance project also allows integrated review of the project implementation plan in accordance with the 'Special Act on the Maintenance and Support of Old Planned Cities'.

This is expected to have a positive effect in speeding up maintenance projects by shortening the deliberation period.

Goyang Mayor Min Kyung-seon said, "The aging planned city maintenance project is not just a simple reconstruction, but a project to recreate urban space that leads to the influx of young people and the creation of new jobs. We will strengthen administrative support to ensure that the maintenance project is carried out smoothly based on a reasonable basic plan."
