The 2030 Seoul Plan draft outlines Seoul's vision and spatial structure for the next 20 years. It divides Seoul into 5 regions and establishes 3 main centers, 7 regional centers and 12 local centers. The plan aims to create a people-centered city with a strong job market, vibrant culture, and safe, stable communities through 12 initiatives addressing issues like welfare, jobs, environment and transportation. The spatial structure focuses on preserving natural areas and historical resources while connecting centers through transportation and greenway axes to promote balanced development across Seoul.
