Suwon City Announces District-Level Urban Development Plans for Guun and Woncheon Districts

Suwon City has designated the Guun District covering 547,736 square meters in the vicinity of 463 Guun-dong, Gwonseon-gu (near the Rural Development Administration) and the Woncheon District spanning 459,963 square meters in the vicinity of 1217 Maetan-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu as Type 1 District Unit Planning zones, announcing the designation on the 14th.

In particular, the Woncheon District (which completed residential development in June 1993) underwent Gyeonggi Province's traffic impact assessment review in July and currently hosts a relocated National Intelligence Service Gyeonggi Branch facility spanning approximately 30,000 square meters, making it an area expected to undergo mixed-use residential development in the future.

The city plans to regulate excessive development by designating these areas under land use and urban management planning zones to secure greenery, including park plans, when development occurs.

In response, a city official stated, “This is intended to establish explicit district unit development plans for residential areas and infrastructure in these regions to prevent unplanned development.”
