Sanggye-dong (Korean: 상계동) is a dong (neighbourhood) of Nowon District, Seoul, South Korea. It was founded in the 1960s by squatters and by the 1980s there were approximately 1,000 squatter households and 600 tenants. In 1985, it was declared a redevelopment zone. Most people left and some resisted before being evicted forcibly.
