Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore changing attitudes towards old urban environments, represented in the comprehensive plans of Seoul, from the first 1966 plan through the most recent one of 2014. The results of analyzing all 6 Seoul urban comprehensive plans are as follows. The contents for considerations and actual planning actions for old urban environments were presented from the third comprehensive plan of 1990. The term 'historical heritage' was first applied in the urban park planning of the 1996 plan. In the 4th comprehensive plan of 1997, it began to regard historical landscapes as 'precious heritages' to make plans for using historical heritages in parts of landscape, education, and tourism. The scope of 'historical heritage' in the comprehensive plans has been expanded. This tendency continued to expand in the 5th plan of 2006, and again in the 6th plan of 2014. At the same time, in pursuing the identity of Seoul, 'historical heritage' in old urban environment came to be materialized further as planning objects.
