Bundang () is a planned community in Bundang District, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It was developed to encourage affordable housing and urban decentralization. The community has a sports complex, a park and a youth center.

{{anchor|Background}}Origin

Bundang was developed during the late 1980s to address rising housing prices, and excessive population density in Seoul, and to support the middle class.

Tancheon

Tancheon is a stream which flows through central Seongnam in Gyeonggi Province. A tributary of the Han River, it flows into the Han near Seoul. Tancheon is a fast-moving stream with an area of 302 km2 and a length of 35.6 km. The Tancheon Project Night Workshop is a collection of city projects to increase the Tancheon's popularity by sponsoring local arts. During the late 1990s, development in Yongin abruptly degraded the Tancheon's water quality with sewage and construction soil. Seongnam and Yongin implemented river-restoration projects, and the Tancheon's surrounding landscape and water quality are slowly improving.

{{anchor|Traffic development}}Transport

Two subway lines—the Bundang Line and Shinbundang Line—connect Bundang with the rest of the Seoul Capital Area. The Bundang line, first opened in 1994, connected Ori Station with Suseo Station, and numerous expansions have been made since, with the line now spanning from Wangsimni Station to Suwon Station. Phase 1 of the Shinbundang Line was completed in October 2011, connecting Jeongja Station with Gangnam District, and Phase 2 opened in January 2016, expanding the line southward. From Migeum Station, it takes 19 minutes to reach Gangnam station, and 17 minutes to reach Gwanggyo station. Compared to bus travel, the subway reduces travel time by up to 25 minutes to Gangnam and up to 30 minutes to Gwanggyo. The increase in accessibility to Seoul has caused the prices of apartments in Bundang to increase. There are also a number of bus routes which service the communities in Bundang. The Yongin–Seoul, Gyeongbu and Bundang-Suseo Urban Expressways connect Bundang with Seoul and nearby city centers.
