Proposal to the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of 4 types including industrial linkage, R&D + campus
(Suwon = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Jong-ho = With the government pushing to expand housing supply in the metropolitan area, Gyeonggi Province Governor Choo Mi-ae proposed a 'Gyeonggi-do-style housing supply strategy' that designs local industry, jobs and housing together.
Governor Chu met with Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Hong Ji-seon at the Seoul Land Development Exhibition Hall on the 2nd and officially proposed specialized strategies for Gyeonggi Province, including industry-linked type, R&D + campus type, self-sufficient new city type, and station area complex development type.
He said, “There are jobs in Seoul and houses in Gyeonggi-do, so jobs and housing are playing separately. It is adding to the demand for transportation, but transportation measures cannot keep up.”
He added, “If supply measures are established in response to the rise in housing prices in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province will be responsible for supplying new residential land, and as a result, Gyeonggi Province will not have room to develop its own urban planning vision.”
Among the specialized strategies proposed by Governor Chu, the industrial linkage type is a model that connects large-scale industrial bases such as semiconductors and the surrounding residential and living areas into one region. The R&D+campus type links university talent and research functions with corporate jobs and youth housing.
The self-sufficient new city type is a type that plans housing, jobs, commerce, and living services together from the beginning of construction, breaking away from the existing method of expanding jobs, transportation, and living facilities after housing supply.
The station-area mixed-use development type is a method of creating a transportation hub where several metropolitan railway lines, such as GTX, meet, into a complex hub where residential, business, commercial, and living services are concentrated.
Minister Hong responded, "I know what you are talking about because I have been in Gyeonggi Province for nearly 30 years, and I believe that Gyeonggi Province's own jobs and self-sufficient facilities are of course important. If we form a working council together and continue to talk about what Gyeonggi Province wants, we will reflect as much as possible."
