Concept of Balanced Development in Seoul
The concept of Seoul's balanced regional development has been established by considering keywords related to balance and imbalance, definitions specified in laws and ordinances, and global trends in inclusive growth. The key characteristics of Seoul's balanced regional development concept are pursuing regional balanced development by considering both space and people, and expanding regional balanced development as a legitimate right of citizens.
Balanced Development in Seoul Considering Space and People
We pursue the enhancement of regional capacity (vitality) through spatial (physical) improvements along with social equity and equal opportunities, simultaneously considering approaches to both space and people. The spatial approach emphasizes spatial (physical) improvements, accessibility to urban services, and regional equity, while the people-oriented approach focuses on social equity, consideration, equal opportunity, and accessibility to economic opportunities.
Expanding the Concept of Balanced Development as a Fundamental Right of Citizens
서Seoul's regional balanced development moves beyond being a passive obligation of local government to a more proactive concept as "a right that citizens can legitimately claim." In this sense, the concept of balanced regional development in Seoul is defined as "the right to receive guaranteed balanced development suited to regional characteristics and universal accessibility to economic opportunities and urban services anywhere in Seoul.”
