The government is pushing forward with a plan to supply housing by utilizing part of Yongsan Park in downtown Seoul. This aims to develop Yongsan Park, located at the prime location along the Han River Belt, and provide public rental housing for young people. However, Seoul City and Yongsan District are strongly opposed, raising concerns about the damage to large urban green spaces. A special act amendment bill regarding the utilization of scattered sites around Yongsan Park is expected to be processed in the National Assembly, and the government intends to expand housing supply through this. However, whether the conflict with Seoul City will be resolved remains unclear, and the government is expected to seek ways to minimize disagreements through consultations with related organizations such as Seoul City.
