Abstract
Korea achieved its rapid economic development called "The Miracle of Han-River" beginning in the 1960's. This sudden economic development caused rapid urbanization and accelerated growth in the urban population. The Korean government supplied some housing in a short time to solve the problems from overcrowding, but these supplied housing let us know about the fixation of houses for the high rise and high density apartment house complex that characterize Korean living culture. While at the same time new problems such as housing speculation and revolting against development exist. From this background, the authors defined the process of how high rise and high density apartment housing complexes are connected to the housing policies and economic bodies. How to relate the consumer's interest also defined.
