International Ideas for Urban Regeneration of the Jamsil Sports Complex in Seoul

ソウル五輪のメインスタジアム周辺およそ95万平米を、国際的に競争力を持てるエリアに変えるアーバンコンペ。

Description
The site area of the competition, the Jamsil Sports Complex, has a significant meaning in not only the sports history of Korea but also the development history of Seoul in that it hosted the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympics since its completion in 1984. Additionally, the area around the Jamsil Sports Complex has a potential as a waterfront in the city surrounded by the Han River and Tancheon (a tributary of the River). However, the facilities have deteriorated and most of the area is currently used just as parking space. Moreover, although the area abuts on the waterfront, the accessibility of the public is limited. For such reasons, the site area is no longer vital and the need for regeneration is becoming an issue.
Thus, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced “The 2030 Seoul Plan” in September, 2013, in which Gangnam area including the Samsung Subway Station and the Jamsil Sports Complex are planned as international business centers, while Yeouido and Youngdengpo are international finance centers. In addition, in April, 2014, the city released ‘The Comprehensive Plan for the Area of the COEX and the Jamsil Sports Complex’ to develop the complex and its surrounding area as ‘International Exchange District’ consisting of four major functions, which are international business, sports, culture, and entertainment.
