Proposed Solutions and innovations for Seoul
The creation of independent self sustainable satellite city, instead the population commuting daily to central Seoul the relocation of employment opportunities/industries to satellite cities. An incentive to move to rural areas To counteract the movement of the agriculture sector to the city in the 1970's an incentive program to grow the agriculture sector for domestic use and export in rural areas. Relocation of the government body and institution to satellite cities. There is a public transport system in place. Restriction to private vehicles access to the city centre may relieve congestion. Alternatively the complicated road infrastructure enables traffic congestion, an alternative could be to reduce the road infrastructure and improve public transport, this would break the cycle of providing more infrastructure for predicted growth and therefore In April 2015 the city mayors of Seoul adopted sustainability goals based on making action through local change. The aim is to create cities that are low carbon, happy, healthy, smart and economically sustainable as well as resilient and productive. The commitment by local government is the first step and needs to be backed up by genuine action plans |
