Abstract This paper aims at finding the limitations of land use controls for manufacturing zones in Seoul to provide the improvement schemes to manage them. To do so, it focuses on the Youngdengpo Manufacturing Zone in Seoul. The Youngdengpo Manufacturing Zone has been the largest industrial area in Seoul since the early 1900s. Yet, it has been losing the industrial functions although the industrial policies in the upper-level plans such as the Seoul Comprehensive Plan and the Plan for Industrial Zone try to keep industrial uses in the area; i.e., the industrial use only consists of 4.04% of the total land uses and large tracts of brownfields have been developed into residential or commercial/mixed uses. This paper found the fundamental legal limitations to protect the industrial uses in the zone by analyzing the related laws and systems including the Korean zoning system. In conclusion, it suggests a comprehensive approach considering laws, programs, and policies for Seoul to keep the industrial characters of manufacturing zones.
