Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport "Actively resolves factors that hinder the speed of redevelopment and reconstruction projects"

Hong Ji-seon, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said on the 7th, "We will actively resolve factors that impede the speed of urban supply projects, such as redevelopment and reconstruction."

Minister Hong attended the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee's audit of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's government affairs on this day and said, "We will provide incentives to businesses that are being promoted quickly and more actively mediate conflicts and disputes in the field."

Minister Hong emphasized, "Above all, we will solidify the supply base so that the housing needed in the metropolitan area can be supplied sufficiently and quickly," and added, "We will establish the shortest construction start model for public housing sites and secure new housing sites to expand the amount of public housing sites started."

Regarding the housing safety net, he said, "We will proceed without a hitch with the housing stability plan, including the provision of public housing and universal public rentals, and improve the housing support system, including expanding the scope of housing benefits."

He also said that he would further protect the public from lease fraud with a risk diagnosis service and minimum guarantee system.

Regarding the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), he said, "We will prepare effective reform measures so that it can properly perform its original role of housing supply and housing welfare with the public's trust."

Minister Hong also emphasized the realization of local-led growth centered on the five poles and three special forces.

He said, “We will create a corporate-type high-tech city that connects corporate investment to local growth and create a region where companies and young people visit,” and added, “The second relocation plan for public institutions will be announced without a hitch within the year by sufficiently collecting opinions from the region, institutions, and workers.”

Regarding construction site safety, he said, "We will not compromise under any circumstances when it comes to the lives of the people and the safety of workers on site," and "We will change the system to prevent risks in advance by blocking poor construction and reorganizing the safety management system throughout the entire dismantling process."

He continued, “We will also correct illegal and unfair practices at construction sites, such as illegal subcontracting and non-payment of construction payments, through system improvement and inspection.”

In the railway sector, he said, "With the integration of KORAIL-SR, we will provide more seats and strengthen services that can be experienced, such as lower fares and mileage."
