Suwon City Pursues Abolition of KBS Suwon Center Urban Planning Facility

KBS has requested Suwon City to abolish the urban planning facility (cultural facility) designation for the KBS Suwon Center, which covers 168,995㎡ in Ingye-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon.

According to Suwon City on the 11th, the public broadcaster KBS requested the abolition of the urban planning facility (cultural facility) designation for the KBS Suwon Center covering 168,995㎡ in Ingye-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon last November.

In a proposal, KBS stated its reason for abolition, saying it will strengthen broadcasting methods and dissemination along with related functions, and create a space that can contribute to education and regional cultural development.

In response, the city sought prior consultation with the Suwon Urban Planning Committee regarding the abolition plan proposed by KBS and began collecting public opinion on the 6th. If no significant objections are raised during the public notice period, the city plans to submit the abolition decision to the Suwon City Council after deliberation by the Urban Planning Committee.

A city official explained, "Although it was designated as an urban planning facility in 1986, revisions to related laws and ordinances mean it no longer meets the standards for urban planning facilities, so we intend to abolish the designation."
