Case Study: Seoul
- Why?
- High rate of growth in the ecnomy,
second highest in the world
- rapid population growth
- rural to urban migration
- lots of illegal shanty towns on the outskirts
- as a means of controlling urban sprawl
- to protect farm lan and promote food secuirty
- costs
- (1987) land price in the greenbelt where 30% below
that outside = CHEAP TO BUY AND BUILD ON
- upward pressure on land and housing prices
- due to the population growth the
houses have become more expensive
- Benefits
- makes urban land more valuable
- improved efficiency in public infrastructures
like roads, water and sewer systems
- greenbelts have been recognised
as important habitats for animals
- Changes
to the
policy
- it has been extended four times
- boundaries in large cities should be
altered depending on environmental
assessments and other factors
- landowners should be compensated for their
loss of development rights
- big villages should be given special
permission for developments that will help
to improve their communities
- greenbelt zones should be lifted arounf
small/medium cities that have little
development pressure and replaced by
conventional zoning regulations
- Sustainable?
- without the greenbelt much natural heritage
and ecosystems would have dissapeared
- there is no definative answer to this question
