The government plans to provide a total of 140-thousand public housing units in Gyeonggi Province and the cities of Incheon, Daejeon and Sejong. 

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport unveiled the plan in a briefing on Monday. The disclosed number of units is nine-thousand more units than the initial plan. 

Under the plan, the government plans to provide 120-thousand housing units in seven locations in Gyeonggi Province, including 41-thousand units in Euiwang, Gunpo and Ansan as well as 29-thousand in Hwaseong Jinan. 

These units will be in a new town which would cover more than three-point-three million square meters. 

The government will also provide seven-thousand units in Daejeon’s Jukdong-2 area, another seven-thousand in Sejong’s Jochiwon town and six-thousand in Sejong’s Yeongi area. 

The latest announcement comes after the government had put off announcing around half of the new sites for its public housing development plan due to the land speculation scandal involving employees of the state-run Korea Land and Housing Corporation(LH).
