Urban Containment Policies and the Protection of Natural Areas: The Case of Seoul's Greenbelt

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Countries around the world have responded to the problems associated with rapid urban growth and increasingly land-consumptive development patterns by creating a wide range of policy instruments designed to manage urban growth. Of the array of growth management techniques, urban containment policies are considered by some to be a promising approach. This paper focuses on greenbelts, the most restrictive form of urban containment policy. The long-standing greenbelt of Seoul, Republic of Korea is exami… Show more

“…In some European countries, land-use plans prescribe the design of greenbelts seen as physical boundaries separating urban and rural areas. In many cases, greenbelts have proved to be effective in the containment of sprawl (Bengston and Youn, 2006). However, most of those policy strategies -when applied -have revealed only partly effective in northern Mediterranean cities because of the lack of explicit goals (Bengston et al, 2004;Koomen et al, 2008;Salvati et al, 2013).…”

“…Research also shows that where state control and planning authority is diminishing and market forces take over, previously protected green belts, such as those in post-Soviet Russia, are developed by "elite suburban housing" (Boentje & Blinnikov 2007). Similar development is ongoing in Beijing (Yang & Jinxing 2007), Hong Kong (Tanga et al 2007) and Seoul (Bengston & Youn 2006). However, when looking at the city cores in heavily sprawled cities such as Detroit, Atlanta, and Dallas, there seems to be a relation.…”

“…This will actually enhance negative consequences of sprawl, such as automobile dependency and low levels of public transport for those living outside the UGB. Also differences in housing prices increase creating patterns of social segregation (Bengston & Youn 2006).

“…The UGB boundary may also be reassessed and extended based on current need to accommodate additional population (Bengston & Youn, 2006). The third type of urban containment policy is the urban service boundary, which is more flexible than the UGB.…”
