A Study on the Sustainability in Urban Planning Theory - Focusing on Decentralized Concentration -

Environmental problem due to environmental pollution and CO2 emission has brought a strong attention on issues of sustainable urban development in urban planning area. Many urban planning researches have been argued that decentralized concentration is one of the key issues for the sustainable urban spatial structure. Decentralized city is to create sustainable urban structure by realizing the supply system for urban energy efficiency through restriction of car use, proper urban density, and mixed-use. This study aims at exploring the concept of decentralized concentration and comparing its characteristics of decentralized concentration urban structure found in urban planning theories.
