Urban planning analysis reveals that compact design enhances land use efficiency and quality of life in Seoul, highlighting infrastructure strain and gentrification as critical challenges.
This paper explores the implementation of compact urban design in Seoul, South Korea, and its effects on sustainable housing development. It discusses how the integration of high-density housing, mixed-use developments, and transit-oriented designs has enhanced land use efficiency, environmental sustainability, and resident quality of life. Additionally, the study highlights challenges such as infrastructure strain, cultural shifts, gentrification, and public acceptance. By examining Seoul’s urban planning efforts, the research offers insights into the complexities of applying compact urban design in a densely populated city, provides lessons for other urban areas, and proposes strategies to address these challenges effectively.
