Abstract
After a period of fast urban growth, which started in the 1960s, urban development in Korea slowed down since 2008 when housing units supply exceeded the number of households for the first time. Depending on the location and specific basic conditions, some areas undergo intensive redevelopments. In contrast, other neighborhoods experience economical and physical deterioration. To facilitate sustainable urban redevelopment, related policies need to address aspects of the New Urban Agenda. This research investigates the different urban development and redevelopment policies in the city of Daegu. Urban projects conducted after 2008 have been mapped and documented in terms of related policies and their degree of implementation, project size, building and population densities, and urban morphology. Potentials for the transformation and densification of existing urban areas are discussed. The research findings are compared with current redevelopment policies and result in recommendations for the evolution of policies towards increased integration of sustainable urban redevelopment aspects.
