City Overview · Living

Shorter commutes, closer collaboration and a better balance between work and life. B-CITY offers a connected environment for business.

• #SpecialZones

  Business infrastructure backed by national and local government support

  Four national special-zone designations apply here: a bio National High-Tech Strategic Industry Specialized Complex, AI Healthcare Global Innovation, Education Development, and Opportunity Development alongside the Gangwon R&D zone. Tax relief, subsidies and fast-track permits are already in place.

• #ShortCommutes

  Shorter commutes

  A connected live-work network helps reduce everyday travel, making commutes shorter and leaving more time for daily life.

• #RegionalAccess

  Seoul and the world, an hour away

  A meeting in Seoul or a flight abroad from Yangyang International Airport — both within an hour. On a regional network of GTX-B, ITX and expressways, B-CITY reaches every opportunity in the Seoul metropolitan area, and the airport puts the rest of the world close.

• #ResearchPartnerships

  A city where collaboration is routine

  Companies, research institutes and universities sit close together here — in distance and in daily routine. A morning meeting, lunch with researchers nearby, an afternoon on a university campus working on a joint project. Collaboration becomes part of the daily routine.

Nature close by, comfort within walking distance, and homes that come with advanced technology. B-CITY makes every day richer

• #SmartLiving

  AI- and IoT-enabled homes

  AI and IoT reach into every room. Lighting, temperature and security manage themselves; a nutrition system looks after meals; and an integrated care network watches over the whole family. This applies to every home, from ultra-premium senior housing to standard units.

• #WalkableCity

  A pedestrian-first network

  B-CITY’s pedestrian-first network ties the whole city together. The school run, the commute, the trip to the shops — all of it safe and close. Everyday trips stay short and simple.

• #SocialMix

  A city of many housing types

  Detached homes, apartments and mixed-use residential all share one city. Neighbors of different ages and different lives meet in the parks and plazas. A healthy local culture grows out of that mix.

• #GreenAndBlue

  Green space and water, close at hand

  Parks and green space account for 26% of the city, placing nature within easy reach — a waterfront path, a green crossing on the way to work, and open countryside at the weekend.

Learning within the city, from kindergarten to foreign educational institutions. Industry–academia collaboration with Kangwon National University, Hallym University and other regional universities supports an international learning environment.

• #LifelongLearning

  Kindergarten to high school, in one city

  From a child’s first day at kindergarten to the day they graduate high school, all of it happens in the same city. A lifelong education system, tied to the Edu-Forest Chuncheon Special Zone, grows with them.

• #GlobalEducation

  World-class learning, close at hand

  Foreign education institutions, established under Article 38 of the Special Act on the Development of Enterprise Cities, bring a global learning environment into the city — and with it the making of an international city.

• #OpenEducation

  The whole city as a school

  Learning continues beyond the school. Tenant companies, research institutes and regional universities all connect. From AI-based career experience to joint industry projects, students learn by working on real problems.

Nature beside the office, a culture plaza at the center of the city, and golf and tourism within reach. B-CITY makes time off as rich as time at work

• #GolfAndLeisure

  Golf as part of everyday life

  Three minutes from Nam-Chuncheon IC and 50 minutes from Seoul: a 943,000 m² course within B-CITY, accessible on an ordinary weekday. A course of this scale, once a weekend trip, is now part of the city.

• #CulturePlaza

  A cultural anchor downtown

  The cultural venues at the heart of the Business Complex sit among the shops and offices as the city’s cultural core. Exhibitions, performances and events bring the plaza to life on the way to and from work.

• #GreenNetwork

  Green through the whole city

  Parks and green space make up 26% of B-CITY, so open space is never far away. Trails, waterfront and inner-city green connect — a morning walk before work, a short break at lunch.

• #Tourism

  Leisure destinations within easy reach

  Chuncheon’s best-known destinations are right next door: Nami Island and Gangchon, the Kim Yu-jeong Literary Village, Lake Uiam and the Soyang River, Vivaldi Park. A short drive, and something different in every season.
