Changes in Busan's Redevelopment Approach
The city of Busan is innovatively changing its approach to redevelopment projects. Previously, private-led maintenance projects dominated, but now, with the introduction of the 'Request for Urban Maintenance Plan', the public is actively participating from the initial stages, establishing a new turning point for urban maintenance projects.
The first example of this change is gaining attention with the establishment of the basic direction for the redevelopment plan of the Sinpyeong 2 project. Busan recently selected the contractor and announced that it has begun basic work necessary for establishing the maintenance plan targeting Sinpyeong-dong in Saha-gu.
This project is expected to go beyond simple redevelopment planning and is drawing attention in the industry as it has the potential to position itself as a new model for future redevelopment projects in Busan. There are expectations regarding the positive effects this change will have on improving Busan's urban environment.
What is the Public-led Request for Urban Maintenance Plan?
The Request for Urban Maintenance Plan is a system based on the "Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Act," where residents set the boundaries of maintenance zones and request it from the public. This allows the public to directly participate from the initial stages.
Traditional redevelopment projects typically involved planning centered around commercial viability, followed by administrative processes. However, this approach had several issues, such as uniform planning focused solely on feasibility, lack of basic infrastructure like parks and roads, delays in projects due to plan changes, and conflicts among residents, increasing uncertainty regarding the projects.
In order to address these issues, Busan City introduced a method to involve the public from the early stages of the maintenance plan to strike a balance between public interest and commercial viability. Especially, a key feature of this system is the ability to simultaneously conduct design innovation, expand living SOC, and implement an integrated urban architecture plan. This approach enables more efficient urban development that reflects residents' opinions.
Overview of the Sinpyeong 2 Redevelopment Project
This project targets the area around Sinpyeong-dong 610-10 in Saha-gu.
Main project details are as follows:
The location is around Sinpyeong-dong 610-10 in Saha-gu, with an area of 52,165.8㎡.
The project is redevelopment and the service period is set to 12 months from the start date.
Sinpyeong-dong is close to Sinpyeong Station on Busan metropolitan subway line 1 and has served as a residential area for the western Busan industrial complex.
However, a high proportion of old houses and insufficient roads and living infrastructure have led to ongoing calls for maintenance.
This project will seek comprehensive development directions that reflect the characteristics of the area and the future urban competitiveness, going beyond simple housing supply.
Establishment of Basic Direction for Urban Maintenance Plan
In this project, basic concepts for the entire urban area will be established prior to the designation of maintenance zones.
The main review items include:
First, a review of land use and housing planning will be conducted. This will help establish land use plans and closely examine housing construction plans. It will also include innovative design and the creation of regional landmarks.
Second, plans for constructing basic infrastructure are necessary. Improvements to the road system and the creation of parks will establish pedestrian environments, along with a comprehensive review of the transportation system.
Third, the expansion of living SOC is a major issue, where public facilities close to residents will be implemented, reflecting their opinions, and discussions regarding complex community facilities will also take place. Strengthening the function of public services is also a goal.
Busan City aims to propose a new residential model by establishing an integrated urban architecture plan that differentiates itself from existing apartment complexes.
Expectations for Shortened Project Duration
The attention to the Request for Urban Maintenance Plan is due to its potential to shorten project duration.
Generally, redevelopment projects take years before the designation of maintenance zones, with repeated coordination of opinions among public institutions, residents, and experts, often prolonging the project.
However, by utilizing the Request for Urban Maintenance Plan, the public can provide initial guidelines, reducing uncertainties that may arise during the establishment and review processes of the maintenance plan.
Furthermore, as Busan City bears the cost of establishing the basic direction for the maintenance plan, the burden on residents regarding initial costs will be significantly reduced.
These factors are expected to further promote resident participation in the early stages of the project and positively impact securing overall project momentum.
A New Role Model for Redevelopment in Busan
The Sinpyeong 2 redevelopment project has significant implications that extend beyond individual projects.
Busan City hopes to closely analyze the results of this service and develop it into an innovative model that can be applied to other maintenance projects in the future. In fact, plans are in place to issue additional service contracts for other regions where maintenance plans have been established through the Request for Urban Maintenance Plan in the second half of this year.
Redevelopment projects in Busan are progressing towards a qualitative growth stage that considers urban design, public interest, and improvement of living environments, moving away from simple quantitative supply.
If the Sinpyeong 2 redevelopment project is successfully completed, it will become a representative success story of the public-led Request for Urban Maintenance Plan in Busan and is expected to set a new standard for future urban maintenance projects in Busan.
