Various experiments in the 1990s have shown deficiencies in the Korean planning and development control system, which include the dichotomy of City Planning Areas (CPAs) and Non City Planning Areas (NCPAs), high-density urban developments in CPAs, extreme regulation of Restricted Development Zones (RDZs), virtually unrestricted urban development in Semi Urban Areas (SUAs) and Semi Agricultural and Forest Areas (SAFAs), and a monopolistic public supply of urban land. Clearly such deficiencies cannot surmount the new challenges posed by suburbanization, the rise of environmentalism, and the revival of local autonomy Although the enactment of the National Land Use Planning Law contains some remarkable reforms addressing such deficiencies, many of the deficiencies of Korean planning institutions and development control cry out for further reforms. This article examines the Korean experience in planning and explores possible reforms
