Although recent research has mapped the ecosystem service worldwide, most studies have not obtained accurate results owing to the usage of high-cost and low-resolution data. Hence, herein, carbon storage and carbon uptake per capita are quantified and mapped for all administrative districts of the Seoul Metropolitan City through (1) the analysis of tree cover via on-site tree investigation and aerial imagery and (2) geographic information system (GIS) analysis, targeting the Seoul Metropolitan City of South Korea, which has achieved the highest level of development. Results indicate that the total carbon storage and carbon uptake of Seoul are approximately 1459024 t and 147388 t/yr, respectively; the corresponding per unit area values are approximately 24.03 t/ha and 2.43 t/ha/yr, which are lower than those of other cities. In particular, carbon storage and uptake per capita benefits of the urban areas, except for the urban forest areas, are confirmed to show a maximum difference (~20 times) between the regions.

  • 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.

  • Construction Presale Volume Growth to Support Earnings Improvements
    Construction Presale volume growth to support earnings improvements Overweight (Maintain) Large builders’ presale volume to increase 44% in 2020 In 2020, large builders (Hyundai E&C, Daewoo E&C, GS E&C, Daelim Industrial, and Industry Report Hyundai Development) are planning 122,000 apartments for presale, up 92% from last year’s actual presale volume. Applying the historical average ratio (75%) of actual January 10, 2020 presales to planned presales, we expect presale volume to be around 92,000 units in 2020, up 44% from 2019. Presale growth to support earnings improvements; Large builders gaining Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. market share [Construction/Building Materials ] The continued decline in apartment presales since 2018 has led to mo unting worries about housing earnings. However, we believe large builders’ increased presale Kwangsoo Lee volumes in 2020 will support housing earnings improvements.

Based on presale plans for 2020, we ex pect [email protected] the five big builders to account for 35% of the market this year—the highest level on record. We believe large builders will continue to gain ground, driven by market shifts Junghan Yoon +822 -3774 -1371 toward reconstruction/redevelopment and greater differentiation. If such mark et [email protected] share expansion continues, large builders should be able to generate stable profits from housing, even if the overall presale market shrinks.

    Overview CHONGQING 2035 / 33 Conclusion Chongqing’s large administrative territory and population, thriving economy, and increasing integration into the global economy are huge assets in its bid to become a global city. Chongqing can manage looming risks and shape its growth trajectory to mirror that of other successful global cities by (1) shaping its spatial structure in a compact form; (2) increasing its connectivity and integration in the ASEAN region; (3) becoming a center of innovation with a highly skilled workforce; (4) managing the demographic transition and urban-rural integration, and creating a free-flowing large labor market; and (5) following a low- carbon growth pathway. The five major transformations highlighted in this report define short-, medium-, and long-term goals and provide an overall strategic direction to achieve Chongqing’s Vision 2035. A successful outcome requires strong leadership and commitment, careful sequencing, smooth and determined implementation, and close coordination among all relevant agencies. With the right strategy and careful implementation, Chongqing, already considered a fast-growing emerging global gateway, can achieve its goal of becoming one of the world’s most competitive cities by 2035. 34 / Spatial and Economic Transformation for a Global City Chongqing Hongyadong.
