1970년대‘행정수도건설을 위한 백지계획’에 관한 연구

Abstract

The blank plan for the construction of administrative capital is regarded as a significant project to figure out the discourse of urban planning in the 1970s’ Korea. For the identification of its historical significance, we investigated a huge amount of documents archived in the National Archives of Korea, and made a comprehensive topography of discourse about them. As a result of this research, we can conclude three points:1) there was a huge gap of viewpoint concerning urban planning between technocrats of military government and planners, which was displayed in the blank plan by a stark contrast between the formal and hierarchical disposition of administrative district and the organic composition of residential district; 2) the Koreanness of urban planning was emphasized in the course of the establishment of the plan. Planners searched for the size, density and settlement method most suitable for the Korean, but failed to reach a meaningful conclusion; 3) However, it is proved that the impact of the blank plan on the development of new towns in the 1980s and 1990s was huge. Particularly, the living zone theory became a basic methodology to design them. © 2021, Architectural Institute of Korea. All rights reserved.
