Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province has launched the "Jungdong 1st New Town Redevelopment Master Plan Establishment Project," marking the beginning of a comprehensive urban renewal strategy.
According to the city on June 20, this master plan is the first to be established by Bucheon among the 1st new towns. The plan aims to present a future vision for Jungdong New Town and outline concrete measures to realize that vision.
The proposal includes an urban spatial structure that organically connects cultural life corridors, eco-friendly waterway corridors, pedestrian green corridors, park corridors, daily SOC corridors, view and wind corridors, high-rise induction corridors, and appropriate building density throughout Jungdong New Town.
Through the master plan, the city will develop implementation strategies for the vision, four main objectives, and twelve key strategies outlined in the basic redevelopment plan.
Key elements include creating an eco-friendly waterway connecting Sangdong Citizens' River and Simgokcheon, forming a cultural life zone encompassing the Jungdong and Sangdong areas, designing building layouts that consider open view corridors and wind paths between structures, designating high-rise induction zones, securing floor area ratios that reflect views and sunlight, and planning for eco-friendly, long-lasting housing.

At the project kickoff briefing held on June 19, Mayor Jo Yongik stated, "Please present a realistic and creative vision so that Jungdong New Town can be reborn as a future city. I hope this master plan will position Bucheon as the leading model for 1st new town renewal and provide residents with real hope for reconstruction and a foundation for spatial welfare."
Meanwhile, in December last year, Bucheon City became the first in the country to establish the "2035 Old Planned City Redevelopment Basic Plan (Jungdong New Town)" and received approval from Gyeonggi Province. Currently, Eunha Village and Bandal Village A have been designated as pilot districts, laying the foundation for integrated reconstruction.
To enhance the feasibility of this plan, the city is operating an expert advisory group composed of professors and field engineers in urban planning, architecture, landscaping, and landscape design. Starting with a kickoff meeting on June 4, the city will continue to hold advisory meetings at each stage of the plan's development.
