South Seoul City Planning (1961) was the first urban plan to build a large-scale residential area in the southeast area south of the Han river. Although not everything was realized as planned, the plan was unique in that it planned an expressway including the Hannam bridge, applied the concept of neighborhood unit for the residential area, and proposed the construction of a large-scale urban park utilizing the waterfront. All of these were the first attempts of their kind in the postwar period. In this sense, the South Seoul City Planning was a pioneering plan in postwar urban planning in Seoul.
