3. Seoul’s City Planning for the Next Century
To solve Seoul’s challenges and reflect its changing environment,
we have established “Seoul’s New Urban Planning System”
[ Various Side-effects ]
[ Entering an Era of Low Economic Growth ]
Seoul still needs to resolve the side-effects of its rapid growth, while entering an era of low economic growth fast. 
Therefore, we have planned an urban planning framework looking ahead for the next century: Seoul’s 100 Yr Urban 
Panning Framework.
