The History of Korean Urban Policy and Future-oriented Implications

The purposes of this paper are two-folds. First, the study summarizes the history of the urban policy of Korea since the Japanese colonial period. Secondly, on the basis of the characteristics of the urban policy by decades, it presents policy implications associated with a future-oriented urban policy. The urban policy in the 1960’s and 1970’s was defined as the period of establishing the institutional framework and completing the national and urban infra-structual projects, respectively. During the period of 1980’s and 1990’s, the focuses of the urban policy are concentrated on the issues of deregulation and equity instead of regulation and growth. Since 2000’s, urban resident’s diverse desires, such as participation, amenity, public design, etc are reflected to implementing the urban policy. For the betterment of the future-oriented urban policy of Korea, it should be emphasized that the convergence among existing urban policies is necessary since most of the urban areas transferred to the technologically as well as sociologically based network in the future.
