【 摘 要 】

The National Industrial Complex was designated by the Korean government to strategically nurture the country's key industries. It is larger than a normal industrial quarter, playing a major role in boosting national economic development. In Korea, industrial complexes began to be created since the post-war period. During the period, the country experienced the worst economic condition with many problems. Facing the problems, factories for light industry started to be established, then the focus has shifted towards heavy chemical industry [1]. Seoul Digital Industrial Complex (G-Valley) was established through the development of small to large manufacturing factories such as clothing workshops. However, because of the rapidly industrializing areas out of Seoul, a number of old factories moved to other locations in the 1980s and 90s, and G-valley was replaced by venture groups and IT related companies. Since its establishment in the 1960s, physical infrastructure has been aged and some social problems have been raised. In this paper, we will investigate the problems of G-valley and seek the future solutions by analyzing the current situation based on its urban spaces. It is significant to look at the common problems and future visions not only of G-valley but also of the industrial complexes in other areas of Seoul and its metropolitan region.
