[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Guri Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun announced on the 26th that he conducted a site visit in connection with the advancement of the Hangang Guri Topyeong 2 Public Housing District project.

The second UCP (Urban Concept Planner) advisory meeting site visit held under LH's leadership brought together a total of 19 participants including UCP committee members, Gyeonggi Province, Guri City, and LH officials. The visit proceeded in the following order: ▲a discussion between the Guri mayor and UCP committee members ▲viewing of the Topyeong 2 district and on-site briefing ▲on-site visit.

Mayor Baek stated, "Through this site visit, we confirmed on-site conditions regarding key pending projects such as Jangja Lake Park, Topyeong Water Purification Plant, Cosmos Road, Acheon Interchange, and Topyeong Stream, as well as the district boundary areas. Based on this, we plan to develop optimized development plans tailored to the Topyeong 2 district."

He continued, "We have great expectations for the UCP committee members in establishing the development concept and special measures for the Hangang Topyeong 2 district project, which is a long-cherished wish of Guri citizens. Based on the UCP committee's advice, we will work with LH to develop the Topyeong 2 district into a cutting-edge city differentiated from existing public housing districts."

Meanwhile, the UCP meeting is part of the 'Public Housing Upgrade Project,' a system in which LH prepares initial draft plans for public housing districts and establishes development directions and specialized plans based on expert advice and opinions. Currently, the Guri Topyeong 2 Public Housing District is undergoing administrative procedures including strategic environmental impact assessment and disaster impact review in preparation for district designation in 2025.
