This chapter diagnoses the current Korean policies and makes recommendations for further improvement. The first part reviews Korean urban policies in view of compact city policies. Compact city policies have been imbedded implicitly to a certain degree in several urban development policies or projects such as urban regeneration, new town development, the establishment of multi-modal transfer centres, greenbelt zoning and happy/bogeunjari housings. The second part produces policy recommendations based on the policy review from the first part of the chapter. The recommendations are categorised into five themes: i) establishing a national policy framework based on the concept of the compact city; ii) regenerating urban centres to avoid further urban expansion; iii) enhancing the attractiveness of cities through mixed land use; iv) integrating land-use policy with transport policy through transit-oriented development strategies; and v) improving multi-level governance to achieve the goals of compact cities.
