| Abstract |
Global cities are confronting challenges to seek usable sites, particularly public domains including brownfield and underused infrastructures to
provide open space, inexpensive housing and other infill developments. Railroad yard is a large-scale urban planning infrastructural complex
containing series of railroad tracks and supporting operational facilities which offers vast amount of open space to be built at multi-level.
This study examines a unique railroad site of Shinjung Railroad Yard that has integrated an artificial ground to provide public housing.
Nevertheless, currently the multi-level development is confronted with noise vibration problem, community severance design issue and
discriminative perspectives toward to social housing. Relevant international precedents of multi-level and multi-use developments among
railroad yard are analyzed regarding environmental, physical and social implications to derive implications for enhancing the Shinjung Railroad
Yard. The result demonstrates the necessity to strengthen regional and communal connectivity through creating various public spaces on the
artificial ground level, attract alternative public programs in proper locations, and develop the adjacent unexploited sites. The resolutions of
the housing development integrated to an underused urban infrastructure in the case of Shinjung Railroad site further contributes to provide
preliminary design instructions and implementational considerations in terms of future multi-level and mix-used infill developments among
obsolete, underused urban planning facilities. |
