Significance of Selecting Leading Districts for Busan's Old Planned City Maintenance
The city of Busan is set to officially begin the reconstruction of new towns with the final confirmation of the first phase leading district of the old planned city maintenance project.
This project includes the Huam and Geumgok districts and the Haeundae 1 and 2 districts, totaling 7,318 units.
This initiative is the first instance of old planned city maintenance implemented in local metropolitan areas after the first new towns in the metropolitan area and is considered a critical turning point in Busan's urban policy.
Overview of Leading District Selection Results
The first phase leading district is divided into two major areas.
The Huam·Geumgok district consists of 12 zones, with a total of 2,624 units included. Next, the Haeundae1·2 district has 2 zones with 4,694 units. This results in a total of 7,318 units across the two areas.
The application was accepted in October, and the final candidates were determined through a review by the evaluation committee. The city of Busan plans to quickly promote special maintenance plans based on these areas.
Maintenance Direction for Huam·Geumgok District 12
Huam·Geumgok District 12 is composed of Kolon Hanulchae 1st and 2nd phases. This area has seen severe deterioration of residential facilities since the development of the planned city, necessitating its designation as a leading district for mid-rise focused reconstruction.
The city of Busan will support the early initiation of a special maintenance plan for this area and plans to enhance project viability through expert consultations. Additionally, the city aims to minimize uncertainties that may arise in the early stages by reducing the cost burden related to resident consent procedures.
Reconstruction Promotion for Haeundae 1·2 District 2
Haeundae 1·2 District 2 consists of three complexes: Doosan 1st phase, LG, and Daelim 1st phase, boasting a total of 4,694 units.
The Haeundae new town area has excellent living amenities and location, but the deterioration of housing is severe. Being designated as a leading district has established an institutional basis for promoting reconstruction.
The city of Busan plans to enhance the speed of the project and the residents' sense of involvement through the simplification of procedures and administrative support.
Busan Future City Support Center and Administrative Support
The city of Busan plans to establish the 'Busan Future City Support Center' in the first half of 2026 in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. This center will provide a variety of services to residents, including guidance on project procedures and systems, consulting for maintenance plan establishment, designation of special maintenance zones, and support for permits and licenses.
This will play a significant role in establishing a one-stop administrative support system.
Additionally, the city plans to complete and announce the basic plan for phase 1 early next year after the Urban Planning Committee deliberation at the end of this month, and also simultaneously promote the basic plan for phase 2 covering the areas of Madae, Mandeok, Mora, Gaegeum, and Dangam.
Conclusion | Institutional Start of Busan New Town Reconstruction
The selection of the leading district for Busan's old planned city maintenance project marks an important first step in effectively reorganizing the entire planned city beyond mere reconstruction.
If a mid-rise reconstruction and a public-led administrative support model are established around the Huam and Geumgok, and Haeundae new towns, this could serve as a standard that will likely spread throughout Busan in the future. Such changes are expected to have a significant impact on the development of Busan's urban landscape.
