| Abstract |
In central Seoul, the daytime business index is the highest in the nation, yet residential population density remains only half the citywide
average. This situation highlights a trend of urban hollowing and deteriorating living conditions, largely due to outdated housing and unmet
housing needs. Focusing on commercial districts in central Seoul, this study operates under the assumption that these areas lack sufficient
residential facilities. A hypothetical model is developed through an analysis of urban planning elements, with particular attention to parking
regulations. In selecting potential sites, the study examines urban streetscapes, identifies specific target locations, and evaluates ground-floor
space utilization within development simulations. It further explores the possibility of shared parking to ease existing parking requirements.
Additionally, the study investigates factors that influence the adoption of public bicycles as a component of integrated mobility, alongside
pedestrian infrastructure. By simulating this hypothetical model, the research considers the premise that mandated parking lot installations may
significantly constrain residential development in city centers. This approach makes it possible to examine practical housing supply strategies
aimed at revitalizing urban residential environments and encouraging pedestrian-oriented lifestyles. Throughout this process, the study analyzes
how urban residential growth, parking standards, and walkable cityscapes intersect in the central districts of Seoul. |
