Due to rapid urbanization, large-scale high-density apartments and
multi-family housing furthered the progression of uniformity in the city.
Urban spaces with no human relationships caused various urban issues
Thus, the restoration of village communities has become necessary

Installation and supply of water use facilities are on the increase to reduce
the heat island phenomenon for a pleasant civic life. Water-use facilities in
apartment complexes such as hydroponic and spray facilities are increasing
but the water supply is insufficient. Thus, here are the suggestions to revitalize
the water recycling and management industry
- Develop the water recycling industry as a strategic industry
- Provide economic incentives to water recycling facilities and vendors
- Composition of “Fund for the Activation of Water Reclamation Facility and Supplier”
- Build and development a business model for a water recycler (Gray water)
Joongrang Water Recycling Center Seonam Water Recycling Center
2. Seoul Solutions_
The Vitalization strategy of water reuse and reclamation industry (2010)
Management of ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and secondary
pollutants such as fine dust (PM) are primary drivers of Seoul's air quality
problems. Material cause of secondary pollutants are volatile organic
compounds (VOC) and a major source of VOC in Seoul are moving pollution
sources such as automotive pollutants
- Proposing intensive management policies for moving contaminants (i.e. cars, etc.)
- Presenting strengthened VOC management standards on organic solvent products
2. Seoul Solutions_
Amendment to the Air Quality Implementation Plan in Seoul (2012)
The next 20 years suggests the direction in which Seoul should move by
suggesting day-to-day living patterns that emerge from these
development-oriented and urban management policies
• Reducting the production age
• Increase of 1-2 person
households
• Increase in the foreign
population
• Rapid increase in elderly
population
• Rise in the average age of
marriages
• Increase in the divorce rate
• Fragile Middle class
• Polarization of the
aged population
• Interlocking
economic capacity
and educational
opportunities →
disconnection of
mobilities in
the ​​hierarchy structure
• The threshold of
Urbanization: 81-90%
• Expansion of the
Boundaries in Seoul's
Policy Target
(Conurbation)
• Centralization of the
role of consumption
culture cities
• Build a energy-
intensive city-base
• Strengthen the social
pattern of eco-friendly
living
• Resource-circulating
cities
• Increased frequency
and risk of extreme
weather in the city
