노후계획도시 정비사업제도의 개선 방안

Abstract This study explores strategies for restructuring the redevelopment system of aged planned cities through a systematic comparative analysis of the Special Act on the Maintenance and Support of Aging Planned Cities and the Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Act. While both laws share the common goal of addressing urban deterioration, the latter serves as a general law for nationwide and comprehensive urban renewal, whereas the former is a special law designed to respond to the simultaneous and large-scale aging of specific planned cities such as the first-generation new towns. The analysis identified major points of conflict, including discrepancies in the scope of application, differences in administrative procedures, variations in project implementation structures, imbalances in financial support, inconsistencies in resident participation, and the limited effectiveness of relocation measures. Accordingly, this study proposes key reform directions: refinement of the legal foundation, clarification of roles among project actors, ensuring equity in financial support systems, enhancing the effectiveness of resident participation, and strengthening relocation policies. In particular, it suggests practical measures such as quantifying the criteria for designating aged planned cities, clarifying the authority of the general project manager, differentiating floor area ratio (FAR) relaxation standards, institutionalizing resident consultation bodies, and providing customized relocation housing. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a policy and legal framework for ensuring coherence in the redevelopment system of aging planned cities and fostering sustainable future urban development.
