"Moatown No. 1" starts...Seoul's Old Housing Improvement New Model Realized

[Anchor]
The first project of Moa Town, which Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon proposed to collect and jointly develop old houses in areas where large-scale redevelopment is difficult, has opened its first shovel.

With construction continuing just three years after being selected as the target site, attention is being paid to whether it can become a new model for the maintenance of old housing in Seoul.

Reporter Kim Hyun-ah reports.

Between the narrow alleyways, old houses are all attached and there is no parking space.

Gangbuk Bun-dong, a typical old residential area, has opened its first shovel for the construction of 1,200 apartments in three years after the promotion of "Moah House," a maintenance project for Oh Se-hoon.

The first Moa Town in Seoul, Bun-dong Moa Town, is a project jointly promoted by five nearby Moa houses.

With the gathering of five blocks of MoA housing, it will be possible to operate an integrated underground parking lot and living and convenience facilities, and new green spaces such as the Uicheon Stream promenade will be created.

[Baek Cheol-gyu / Member of Bun-dong District 2, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (Living for more than 40 years): It's been 20 years since we decided to redevelop it. Let's live in an apartment once and in a new apartment. I'm really looking forward to that right now.]

[Kim Hong-yeop / Head of the 5th district in Beondong, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (45 years living): We aimed 100% for the settlement rate of indigenous people and emphasized it. (Growing to Moatown) The business feasibility is good as we boldly ease the altitude restrictions and regulations....]

Considering the fact that 87% of old low-rise dwellings are left unattended due to difficulties in redeveloping the existing method,
If the
1 project continues to be built and quickly sold, it is expected that it will be a new trend for the low-rise housing maintenance project in Seoul.

[Sehun Oh / Seoul Mayor: It's been 6 years since you were selected as a project in 2022] Is there another place like this in downtown Seoul? (No) It's incredibly fast. Now, redevelopment, reconstruction, Moatown, and Moatown will serve as filial piety to solve the jaw-dropping (housing) shortage in Seoul.]

Mayor Oh also decided to help calculate appropriate construction costs and construction periods from the construction project plan or the construction technology review stage to prevent disputes over rising construction costs.

At the same time, for the construction industry facing a liquidity crisis, public construction budgets such as roads and water supply and sewage will be executed early next year,
We will also provide income safety devices for workers in the construction industry in the
welfare blind spot.
