A public-private-public council, involving Gwangju City, the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, and resident representatives, has been launched for the Gwangju Sanjeong Public Housing District project.
On the 18th, Gwangju City held a launch ceremony for the council at the Business Room of City Hall. The council is composed of one representative from Gwangju City, four from the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, and five resident representatives. It will regularly share key issues and opinions throughout the process of developing the public housing district.

The Gwangju Sanjeong Public Housing District project is being promoted under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s “Public-Led Metropolitan Area Housing Supply Expansion Plan.” By 2030, a total of 12,875 housing units will be supplied in the Sanjeong and Jangsu-dong areas of Gwangsan-gu, including 6,630 public housing units, 6,139 private sale units, and 206 single-family homes.
Gwangju City is calling for an increase in the proportion of public housing, citing an expected shortfall of approximately 28,000 public housing units in the region by 2030. In October, Mayor Kang Gijung requested Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Yoonduk to ensure that the Korea Land and Housing Corporation develops the Sanjeong District as 100% public housing without any private sales.
Byun Sunghoon, Head of the Urban Space Innovation Division, stated, “Through the council, we will minimize conflicts and continuously reflect residents’ opinions,” adding, “We will strive to create a mutually beneficial public housing district.”
