Announcement of pilot district selection
On 2024-11-27 the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced 13 pilot districts in Bundang, Ilsan, Pyeongchon, Jungdong and Sanbon. It subsequently issued guidelines for preparing special redevelopment plans for aging planned cities.
Evidence to check at each project stage
Pilot selection identifies areas to advance first. Estimating additional units and costs for a complex calls for the applicable floor area ratio and infrastructure requirements in the district plan. Relocation support and transport measures are also relevant when considering moving costs and project timelines.
Selection and final owner contributions
The selection announcement does not give final household contributions or occupancy dates. Costs and timelines may change with plans, permits, construction prices and sales terms. The date here marks the selection announcement.
