The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on December 7 that it will hold a workshop for stakeholders involved in the Rapid Integrated Planning initiative, aiming to share achievements and strengthen the foundation for further implementation of the system.


The workshop, scheduled for December 9, will bring together professors, experts, private companies, district offices, and Seoul city officials who have participated in the planning and operation of the initiative. Participants will share four years of experience since the introduction of the system and discuss future development strategies.


Rapid Integrated Planning is Seoul’s flagship urban and housing policy designed to rationally shorten redevelopment project procedures and support the establishment of efficient redevelopment plans tailored to each project site. Since the introduction of the system, a collaborative framework involving residents, experts, district offices, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government has been established, leading to faster project progress and increased feasibility through coordination among stakeholders.


In addition, during the workshop, the Mayor of Seoul will present awards to six experts and four participating companies who have made significant contributions to the innovation of urban residential spaces in Seoul by actively participating in Rapid Integrated Planning projects.


The expert panel discussion will focus on the role and achievements of Rapid Integrated Planning, challenges from the perspective of on-site participants, and directions for future system improvements.


The city plans to review various opinions and proposals, select actionable tasks for system improvement and policy integration, and pursue their implementation. It also intends to further strengthen the stable and sustainable foundation for the initiative.



Cho Namjun, Director-General of Urban Space at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, stated, "Rapid Integrated Planning is more than just a procedure for redevelopment projects; it is a strategic process for designing changes in urban spaces. I hope this workshop will be a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the achievements made by practitioners, experts, and the private sector, and to further concretize the direction for future development."
