South Korean Prime Minister Han Seong-sook visited the construction site of the Incheon Gyeyang District, the first area set to welcome residents among the third new towns, on August 19. She urged officials to ensure that most housing units are under construction by 2030.
During a site inspection meeting in Incheon, Han stated, "The success of the August 13 measures announced last week depends on how quickly we can proceed. It is crucial for agencies like the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to perform their roles effectively."
She added, "The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and related agencies should utilize all available means to ensure that most housing units in the third new towns begin construction by 2030. It would be beneficial to share any areas for improvement immediately."
Han emphasized the importance of building quality homes quickly, stating, "We will prioritize thorough inspections and focus on ensuring that essential infrastructure, such as transportation, education, electricity, water supply, and district heating, is established without delays."
After inspecting the construction site, she remarked, "As Korea enters the ranks of developed countries, we must create homes that meet the quality standards for both sale and rental."
