An Analysis on Participatory City Planning for Procedural Policy Rationality - Focused on the Seoul Plan 2030 -

This paper aims to review a participatory city planning, the Seoul Plan 2030 which is characterized as a participatory, transparent and procedural reformative city planning. During the working period of Seoul Plan 2030, nearly 100 randomly selected citizens living in Seoul have systematically and substantially participated in the process of city planning. In this light, this paper analyzes the participatory Seoul Plan 2030 in terms of procedural policy rationality which is composed of a free discussion and interaction between actors(fairness & openness], the presence of discussion rules & democratic participation(institutionalization & democracy), and beliefs and values shared among the participants(representativeness). The analysis shows that the Seoul Plan 2030 would be positively evaluated as a kind of participatory and collaborative planning seeking for procedural policy rationality. The Seoul Plan 2030 has reflected the awareness of substantial public participation and set the direction to be collaboration among Seoul municipality, experts and citizen groups to set up a city plan. However, it also reveals a few limitations of citizens participation in the city planning process from the viewpoint of institutionalization, democracy and representativeness of a participatory city planning for attaining procedural policy rationality.
