[Edaily Kim Sang-yoon Reporter Hwang Byung-seo] On the 20th, President Lee Jae-myung called for procedural improvements to accelerate housing supply. He placed several measures under review, ranging from the sale of undeveloped land—where land is supplied before site development is complete—to the simultaneous conduct of compensation negotiations and land expropriation, as well as legislative amendments to reduce project delays caused by litigation. Given that this is an “emergency period” requiring a response to the housing supply gap, the aim is to expedite actual move-ins by refining existing project methods and procedures.

That afternoon, President Lee visited the Gyeyang District in Incheon to inspect the construction site of the third-phase new town and held an on-site housing supply roundtable with prospective residents and urban and transportation experts.

According to Kang Yu-jeong, Senior Spokesperson for the Blue House, President Lee climbed onto the roof of an apartment building where final construction work was in full swing. After reviewing the progress of the new city’s development and the number of households scheduled to move in by the end of the year, he instructed officials to fundamentally review the “raw land” allocation system. This approach involves supplying land that has not yet been developed into residential lots to developers, allowing them to prepare and develop the sites themselves.
