The Gangnam-Ization of Korean Urban Ideology
Chapter 7 The Gangnam-ization of Korean Urban Ideology Bae-Gyoon Park and Jin-bum Jang 1 Introduction If there is one key word that could characterize contemporary Korean cities, it would be ‘apartments’.1 Single-unit housing was a dominant mode of residence in Korea before the 1980s, but the construction of apartments and multi-unit homes has rapidly increased since then. In particular, the development of mas- sive new towns in the Seoul Metropolitan Area from 1989 onward has triggered a flood in the supply of apartments, ushering in a transition to apartment life for most Koreans. Reflecting on this transformation, Gelézeau (2007) dubs Ko- rea the “apartment republic.” Other scholars have also noted how the sudden apartmentization of the country has shaped middle class cultural life (Park H., 2013) and has led to the virtual destruction of previously existing urban com- munities (Park C., 2013). A second key word that characterizes Korea’s urban transformations is ‘new town’. Through the 1980 Housing Site Development Promotion Act, the Korean state supported the construction of several new towns around the country, including Bundang and Ilsan in the Seoul Metro- politan Area. Facing rapid urbanization and a sharp increase in housing de- mand in some cities, the central government sought to quickly develop a large supply of affordable housing. In 1981, it designated and developed eleven new town sites through the Housing Site Development Promotion Act. By Decem- ber 2016, a total of 617 new towns had been developed through the act, ac- counting for a total of 2.5% of the country’s total land area and 24.4% of its urban housing. -
The Social Construction of Inequality in Gangnam District, Seoul1
Jung In KIM, Matjaž URŠIČ* BESIEGED CITIZENSHIP – THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF INEQUALITY IN GANGNAM DISTRICT, SEOUL1 Abstract. Through an illustrative comparison of squat- ter settlements and gentrified spaces, this study traces the genealogy and formation of extreme poverty at the heart of the most affluent district in Seoul. A site of urban struggle, the villages of Poi and Guryong did not start as spontaneous informal settlements, but as relocated camps of deprivileged social groups whose dislocation was forced by state authorities. After three decades, the Poi and Guryong villages have grown to become contested sites and polar opposites of the hous- ing complex of Tower Place that has is today one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Seoul. On one hand, the Poi and Guryong villages provide a solid commu- 74 nity space for those displaced, yet one which has now become exceptionally valuable real estate that officials wish to reclaim for new development. The article analy- ses the conflict between residents and entails more than any simple narration of the poor’s disenfranchisement and raises the question of the social construction of ine- qualities and poverty in Seoul. Keywords: squatter settlement, urban development, state planning, Gangnam, citizenship Introduction Modern-day Seoul contains rare and sparsely dispersed enclaves of urban squatters, a few of the last relics of past urbanisation (Cho, 1997; Chung and Lee, 2015; Yonhap, 2017). Paralleling contemporary scenes of urban poverty in East Asia, those urban enclaves of poor people and their everyday life juxtapose manifestations of inequality and injustice against * Jung In Kim, PhD, Professor, Soongsil University, Seoul, South Korea; Matjaž Uršič, PhD, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. -
8. Integrated Energy Supply Program
8. Integrated Energy Supply Program Writer : Korea District Heating & Cooling Association Vice President Tae-Il Han Policy Area: Environment Integrated Energy Supply Program 227 1. General Background & Overview: Integrated Energy Supply in Seoul The supply of integrated energy to apartment complexes in Korea began in Seoul. South Korea is highly dependent on other countries for its energy, and the supply of integrated energy is essential as it promotes energy conservation on a large scale to preserve the environment and reduce the burden on citizens. When the Energy Use Rationalization Act was enacted in 1980, it included stipulations on the supply of inte- grated energy, but the method was very unfamiliar and required prohibitive investment in the early stages, making it impossible for ordinary entities to participate. Being an extremely overpopulated city, Seoul was in dire need of residential apartments and needed to disperse its concentrated population. With the development of new residential land, Seoul became the first city in South Korea to adopt an integrated energy supply. Toward the end of 1982, plans were devised to create a new built-up area in Mok-dong, something which was kept under wraps to prevent real estate speculation, under leadership of the late Kim Jae-ik (killed in the Aung San terror bombing incident), the former Senior Secretary to the President for Economic Affairs. Provision of energy to La Défense (on the outskirts of Paris, France) was used as the benchmark for an inte- grated energy supply model. As Seoul was the first South Korean city to adopt this model, the Ordinance on the Construction & Operation of the Integrated Energy Supply System was passed in 1983, and the Korea Energy Management Corporation (KEMCO), an institution designed to save energy, was commissioned with the task. -

However, because of being almost destroyed during the Korean War, the city spent most of the second half of the 20th century trying to rebuild itself. After recovering, Seoul shifted its policies to become a sustainable development-oriented city. Thus, the city engaged in its first major nature recovery project, the Mt. Namsan Restoration project, in 1991 and it enacted the first 5-year Plan for Park & Green Spaces in 1996, which pinpointed the start of the Green Seoul era. -

Changes in Park & Green Space Policies in Seoul
Changes in Park & Green Space Policies in Seoul Date 2015-06-25 Category Environment Updater ssunha This report explores the park and green space policies of the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) by period, from the time Korea opened its ports to the outside world until today. The periods are: modernization and Japanese colonial rule; the first and second republics; the third and fourth republics; the fifth and sixth republics; and local autonomous government administrations elected by popular vote. For each period, this report examines the institutional and spatial changes in urban parks. Modernization & Japanese Colonial Rule: The Dawn of Urban Parks Defining Characteristics: Mountains and valleys serving as parks (Joseon Dynasty); Independence Park (Open-door Period); destruction of cultural heritage (Japanese colonial government) The concept of parks and green spaces as planned facilities was introduced as a byproduct of modernization in the late 19th and early 20th century. Of course there had been places that served as parks and green spaces ever since the Kingdom of Joseon moved its capital to today’s Seoul in 1394. The city is surrounded by an inner ring of 4 mountains and an outer ring of another 4 mountains, with the Han River flowing east to west. During the Joseon Dynasty, the walled city was located to the north of the Han, and the significance of the inner ring of Bugak Mountain, Inwang Mountain, Nak Mountain, and Nam Mountain was profound as the city walls were built on their ridges. Scholars of old would visit nearby mountain valleys where they wrote and recited poems for leisure. -

SEOUL’S BEST VIEWS OF CHERRY BLOSSOMS Travel In Spring. Travel In Seoul MARCH 1, 2018 WWW.MARIAMIMAY.NET [email protected] 1 | P a g e INTRODUCTION Winter officially waved good bye, so what’s next? Of course, “Hello Spring!” And when we speak of spring in Seoul, we’re obviously talking about cherry blossoms, the most awaited wonder when spring is in the air. “Sakura”, its Japanese name, when on its full bloom bathe the city in white and soft pink color.

The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan and has a wide variety of over 200 types. It symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhist influence. The beauty of this modest flower gives a dazzling adorn to South Korea, making it as one of the major tourist attraction every spring season. Thus, walking under the arrays of cherry blossom trees along the Han River, royal palaces, parks and every corner of Seoul is such a wonderful scenery and pleasure. Sakura flowers are known for its short sparkle.
