[Anchor]

The development of residential complexes is gaining momentum, marked by the first-ever sale of private apartments in the vicinity of the semiconductor cluster in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. Yongin City envisions growing into a "semiconductor city" with a population of 1.5 million.

Reporter Yu Yeong-su has the details.

This is the model home of a builder that opened its sales on the 14th.

Despite the scorching heat, visitors flocked in numbers, forming long lines.

The most notable feature of the complex is that it is the first private apartment project to be built near the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster.

It will consist of 589 households, located right next to the Wonsam-myeon Semiconductor General Industrial Complex in Yongin.

[Lee Ok-hee, Lee Geum-hee, Lee Na-yeon / Model home visitors: It seems to be located right next to the (semiconductor) cluster, just across the street. It doesn't seem too bad to get into Seoul, and not too bad to head out to other regions either. I thought the location was really quite good.]

Among the visitors, many young couples could be seen carefully examining the layout of the homes.

[Shim Eun-hye, Kim Young-bae / Model home visitors: For one, we came for the purpose of actual residency, but the apartment prices are also affordable, and we are hoping that the prices might go up a bit more later on.]

Yongin City plans to supply approximately 46,000 apartment units in the mid-to-short term as residential complexes supporting the semiconductor mega cluster.

A representative example is the Idong Public Housing District, which will be built north of the Yongin National Semiconductor Industrial Complex, scheduled to be developed into a scale of about 20,000 households by 2030.

[Lee Sang-il / Mayor of Yongin Special City: Because the semiconductor project is proceeding well, we are thinking that we must thoroughly prepare for population influx, and we are making preparations across various fields including transportation, culture, arts, and lifestyle sports.]

Yongin City expects that if construction goes according to plan, the city's population will reach approximately 1.5 million.

Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, will establish a 3D flood prediction system for local streams using digital twin technology for the first time in the country.

The system will cover 80 locations and will be utilized for resident evacuation and traffic restriction purposes.
