The city of Seoul has developed in the last 50 years at a phenomenal rate. But do as a world city with over 10 million inhabitants, the city needs a new step. This is by improving the quality of life and quality of development to happen instead of quantitative.
The aim of the project was the analysis and evaluation of the previous planning objectives and policies for the city of Seoul and the development of future visions for the city.

Three major themes were:
1.The creation of a new center for the city of Seoul.
2.improving housing quality and the development of alternative housing typologies.
3.The holistic view of the topography along the Han River to the mountains surrounding Seoul. It will play an important role in the cityscape of Seoul.
Consistent with these three subjects areas were examined and selected and used for test designs simulations in order to formulate the research is not only political guiding principles without ideological content but also to create models which are shown graphically in real urban space. An important point was always the preservation of identity and history of the city of Seoul, that means no totally destruction but gradually urban repair under the motto “Seoul, beautiful city with a memory.”
