New Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byun Chang-heum said on the 29th, “We will prepare and announce specific plans to fully supply affordable and high-quality housing in the city center before the Lunar New Year holidays.”

He said, “Our housing policy should also focus on providing affordable housing and housing that we want to live in the city, rather than being satisfied with the results of the increase in housing supply compared to the past.” In order to overcome the problem and restore the people’s trust, it is necessary to provide the customized housing where the people want it and at the desired level with a sense of speed.
Minister Byeon said, “Some people view that it is difficult to supply more housing in downtown Seoul, but if you effectively utilize subway station areas, semi-industrial areas, and low-rise residential areas, which are developed in low density in downtown Seoul, you can supply sufficient housing in downtown Seoul. “Here, if city planning and building regulations are drastically relaxed and a project execution model developed by public developers in cooperation with residents and private entities is applied, inexpensive and high-quality housing can be provided as much as possible.” .
“Along with these innovative supply plans, we will also prepare measures to block side effects that may occur in the development process. We will block excessive speculative demand and establish a system that shares development profits so that supply will return to end users.” said.
He said, “We will quickly launch the Real Estate Transaction Analysis Institute and cooperate with the National Tax Service and local governments to strengthen on-site inspection and enforcement in order to eradicate illegal activities that make the market cloudy.”

“I sincerely apologize to all those who have been hurt by my remarks, and as promised at the personnel hearing, I will reflect more deeply and act heavier as a public official.” “’Protecting the lives of people in danger I promise to do my best to ensure that the promise of’I will do it’ is kept in any case.’ He said, “We will actively express our opinions on the legislative process of safety-related laws such as the Severe Accident Corporate Punishment Act, so that the heartbreaking incidents of family and co-workers suffering injustice will never happen again.”
Minister Byeon emphasized the importance of balanced national development and said, “We have reviewed the existing ultra-wide economic zone projects, urban regeneration, innovative cities, and Saemangeum projects to achieve more results, while new balanced development such as campus innovation park and urban convergence special zone. “We will continue to discover tools.” In the future, he said, “We will also seek a variety of ways to coexist with regions that lack business feasibility and the metropolitan area where development profits are generated, such as implementing a package of projects in the metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, or introducing cross-preservation methods.”
