문화예술적 도시재생 사례 비교 연구 : 뉴욕 하이라인과 서울로7017을 중심으로

Abstract

This study analyzes two cases, the High Line and Seoullo7017, that have several common characteristics considering the background and aims of the culture & art regeneration. The High Line in New York is a successful case of the culture & art regeneration; however, the evaluation of Seoullo7017 is controversial. This study aims to determine the key factor affecting the culture & art regeneration through a comparative analysis of these two cases. Previous studies related to the culture & art regeneration summarized some details required to make it sustainable and successful; these details include citizen participation, public-private networks, horizontal communication, supplying finances, community based, effective utilization of urban resources, establishment of an organization for the culture & art regeneration, and participation of artists. These can be categorized into public-private cooperation, placeness, and professionalism. This study analyzes each case according to the aforementioned categories and compares the similarities and differences to determine the key factor affecting the sustainability of the culture & art regeneration. Public-private partnership constitutes the most significant difference between the two cases. The principal agent of the High Line project is “Friends of the High Line”, a private non-profit organization, that closely cooperates with the public and other private sectors. The city of New York has community boards and some organizations that attempt to reinforce cooperation between the public and private sectors; these organizations actively participate in the culture & art regeneration. However, in Seoul, there is a lack of active cooperation or participation of the private sector and the communication between the public and private sectors is weak. This comparative analysis elucidated that public-private partnership is the most important element in the sustainable culture & art regeneration.
