Country: Republic of KoreaCity / Location: Seoul / Republic of KoreaPeriod / Date: February 2021 - presentSubject: Information concerning the redevelopment plan 3080+ which is expected to involve the large-scale demolition of houses and the eviction of tenants in multiple districts in Seoul and other suburban areas as part of the Government’s broader housing policies aimed at boosting housing supply. Many of these redevelopment plans appear to be implemented without sufficient consultation or meaningful participation of all affected residents living in these areas, including in the design and implementation of these plans. In addition, the redevelopment projects appear not to include sufficient protection of marginalized community members living in the affected areas, and to ensure inadequate protection of the historic built environment, the culture, and the social networks of affected communities. If these redevelopment plans were to be implemented unchanged, there is the risk that several of the affected persons will be fully displaced with limited opportunities to return to their earlier place of residency.Number of identified alleged victims: 1
