The real challenge for modern cities seeking sustainable development is to find the right balance between "preservation" and "development." In other words, it effectively protects the city's unique identity and seeks positive change at the same time. This approach can be seen as a new urbanization of modern society, which seeks to utilize them as a means of economic development beyond the simple protection of historical, cultural and environment.
The Republic of Korea, a latecomer to modern urbanization, has also been paying attention to sustainable development since the late 1990s, but practical plans have remained development-oriented or simple protection.
The main purpose of this study is to present measures for the preservation of historical and cultural environments in redevelopment areas and to seek an appropriate balance between conservation and development by recognizing the value of historical and cultural environments at risk of destruction or damage by urbanization.
The spatial scope of this study is a redevelopment zone in front of the maintenance window located in Hangang-ro-dong (Hangang-ro 3-ga) in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, in contrast to the conservation of the historical and cultural environment and large-scale collective development. The redevelopment area is characterized by the fact that the multi-layered historical and cultural environment, which was formed in the 1970s when the Japanese colonial era railway collective office was located and the center of railway transportation was in full swing. This study was conducted in Seoul, a modern city that pursues sustainable development, by designating a space that needs a "balance of conservation and development" as a redevelopment project area. The scope of the content is to confirm the sustainable development of the research site through theoretical concepts and prior research and case analysis of the preservation of the historical and cultural environment.
Finding a balance between development and conservation has become a global task as many cities across the globe seek sustainable development. The Republic of Korea has also been paying attention to this sustainability since the late 1990s and has been developing various plans. As the coexistence of opposing values is drawing attention, various efforts are being made to achieve this coexistence in the city. The conclusions of this study are as follows: Conservation and utilization of the historical and cultural environment were expected to serve as a buffer against the unification of the dry environment and irreversible social and political evils caused by the reckless development of the demolition system. Also, as in overseas cases, the use of the historical and cultural environment is likely to become an opportunity to enhance the city's individuality as an opportunity to reveal leading activists, planners, and designs on the surface in terms of creativity. Therefore, this study can conclude that the search for urban solutions to the coexistence of conservation and development has more value than following the trend of the times.
