The Balance Development Promotion Project was established in 2003 by Seoul city. It is a redevelopment project of area centre to improve built-up area in Seoul. This paper aims to examine achievements and limitations of the Balance Development Promotion Project through a case study of Hap-Jung area project. The main findings are as follows: 1) public sector only undertakes a role of designation of project area, but supports for implementation are not clear. 2) participation of inhabitants in planning process is insufficient and the needs of residents are not reflected adequately. In conclusion, strengthening of the role of public sector and supplement of planning system is necessary to promote this type of project.
