The construction of the Gyeongbu Line railroad in Busan resulted in the city being divided into four parts, leading to a disconnection between urban centers. To revitalize the city and improve connectivity, the Gyeongbu Line has proposed an undergroundization plan with Busanjin Station serving as the starting and ending point. As a closed station, Busanjin Station presents a unique opportunity for various revitalization projects to be initiated, beginning with the surrounding ports. Recognizing this potential, the area surrounding Busanjin Station aims to become a hub for urban regeneration. By serving as a node that connects the underdeveloped residential area in the north with the new North port development project in the south, this area aims to drive youth development and rejuvenation in the city.
