As former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon was elected as a single candidate for the mayor of Seoul in the Pan-Ya area, the whole area of ​​the property along the Han River in Seoul is circulating.

According to the real estate industry on the 25th, if Candidate Se-Hoon Oh is elected, there is a growing expectation that the Han River will benefit from his actions and pledges.

Candidate Oh, while serving as the mayor of Seoul from 2006 to 2011, promoted the’Han River Renaissance’ policy to reorganize the urban space structure of Seoul centering on the Han River. At the time, the Han River Renaissance included projects to change the skyline of the Han River, including Sebit Floating Island, ▲ Yongsan International Business District ▲ Yeouido International Financial District ▲ Sangam DMC Landmark. The idea was to put the production axis of added value on the banks of the Han River.

Among them, the Yongsan International Business District and the DMC Landmark were in trouble after the inauguration of the late late Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul. These areas were also selected as large-scale public housing sites in the August 4th measure last year after sluggish development. Only Yeouido Seoul International Financial Center (IFC), which was almost completed at the time candidate Oh served as the mayor of Seoul, was the only thing that was developed as scheduled.

Mayor Oh also made plans to supply houses by building skyscrapers in the Han River area. Ten strategic and guided maintenance areas along the Han River were designated to promote the construction of apartment complexes along the Han River with a maximum of 50 stories, but this was also lifted by former Mayor Park Won-soon.

In the case of the Seongsu Strategic Maintenance Zone, the oldest remaining among the Strategic Maintenance Zones in Yeouido, Apgujeong, Seongsu, Hapjeong, and Ichon, the establishment of the Promotion Committee and the approval of the establishment of the association went to the stage. However, even this was actually stopped last year when Seoul applied the so-called “35 floor rule” that the highest floor cannot exceed the 35 floor.

Candidate Oh announced that he would push forward with the Han River development plan that had been stranded once it became the mayor. In a media interview on the 24th of last month, he once again announced the’Declaration of Restoration of the Publicity of the Han River’.

The pledge of’Restoration of the Publicity of the Han River’ aims to remove the high floor area ratio limit for the Han River maintenance project from the current 35th to 50th floors. Candidate Oh, who made a mid- to long-term pledge to supply 350,000 households within five years, had the idea of ​​securing the main driver of my supply pledge by inducing the supply of the private sector through such temporary deregulation.

Even when looking at the pledges of Candidate Oh’s 25 autonomous districts, pledges to ease development and maintenance projects were concentrated on the banks of the Han River. In the area along the Hangang River, a welcome reaction came when the unification of the pan-opposition candidates as candidate Oh.

A resident of Ichon-dong, west of Yongsan-gu, said, “Whether it was the Yongsan maintenance window plan or the western Ichon-dong maintenance project, I had to spend time in the days of Mayor Park Won-soon,” and “If Oh won, Yongsan will not come to mind again” An official from a real estate agency in Apgujeong-dong also said, “Recently, the reconstruction storm has been blowing, and if Candidate Oh is elected, we expect to receive stronger momentum.”

Lee Chang-moo, a professor of urban engineering at Hanyang University, who is an urban planning expert, said, “Former Mayor Park Won-soon only approached the level of passively solving internal problems in the administrative district of Seoul.” · It will be able to act as a blueprint that can improve vitality,” he said.

City and Economy CEO Song Seung-hyun said, “It will be difficult to do everything during a short term of one year and two months,” but said, “A landmark that will give symbolism to the center of Seoul, a global metropolis, can enhance the status and value of the city.” .

However, it was also pointed out that appropriate corrections should be made. Prof. Chang-moo Lee said, “If you try to move the center of Seoul to the Han River forcibly after 10 years have passed, side effects can occur. “You have to consider the way to tone down.” CEO Song Seung-hyun said, “In the current situation where real estate prices are soaring, there is a concern that it may act as a pressure to increase prices, so it is necessary to develop an operation plan that develops first from underprivileged areas.

There were also concerns that difficulties could arise in the actual implementation process. As the scale of development and maintenance projects along the Han River is so enormous, it is likely that problems with funding requirements and political and social conflicts are likely to appear. CEO Song Seung-hyun said, “Candidate Oh’s pledges are those that can be promoted without difficulty in a long-term boom environment,” he said. “After Corona 19, in a recession where financing is not easy, the key is how to obtain economic engines.”

There are also concerns that measles may occur inside Seoul. Professor Chang-moo Lee said, “There is a possibility of backlash when Candidate Oh proceeds with the business because there are already established interests according to Mayor Park Won-soon’s plan.” Unlike the last tenure of the Mayor of Seoul, 102 out of 110 seats are also part of the Democratic Party, and 24 out of 25 autonomous districts are heads of the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Can act as an obstacle to
