Sagun-dong redevelopment plans split over resident opposition
Two redevelopment areas in Sagun-dong, Seoul, are moving in different directions.
In the area around 212-1, resident opposition exceeded the city’s threshold for excluding a project from its fast-track redevelopment program.
The opposition rate was over the 25% limit by one person, putting the plan on hold.
Meanwhile, the area around 293 is pursuing the steps needed to form a redevelopment association.
Its plan would allow apartments of up to 35 floors.
The different outcomes show how resident opposition can affect redevelopment plans, while the 293-area process continues toward forming an association.
