Abstract This study aims at clarifying the planning methods and historical significance of Park Byung-Joo’s New Seoul Blank Plan(1966) in the context of South Korea’s Urban Design during the 1960-1970s. In addition, it also tries to reveal how the planner’s ideas were transformed into realized urban projects in Korea. By the comparison of the New Seoul Blank Plan and these projects, we can come to understand how the new concepts of urban planning such as CIAM’s planning principles, Neighborhood Unit Theory, New Town plan and green belt concept were adapted to Korean society in the 1960s and 1970s.
