Abstract

The purpose of this study is to trace the path of policy for urban parks and greenbelts (PUPG) pursued by Seoul Mayor Kim Hyeon-ok, who was a protagonist of Seoul's modernization and to reveal the policy's characteristics. A high modernism perspective was projected to advance his PUPG discussion. High modernism was an unavoidable phenomenon that appeared in post-war urban reconstruction projects and emerged in the form of a belief that the national elite creates the ideal social order and rational planning. Its characteristics were to build with legibility, immediacy, and convenience by power, with private participation and profit creation, while realizing the spectacle of "the city being built". As a high-modernist, Seoul Mayor Kim Hyun-ok's urban planning aimed to deal with the booming population and the expansion of Seoul's territory. Although his PUPG extended the parks to the outskirts of Seoul, he showed a dualistic attitude, diverting parks away from the city center. On the other hand, he induced the participation of the private sector to create parks. However, he showed the other side of modernization, eliminating the placeness and excluding related systems. The path taken by Mayor Kim Hyun-ok's PUPG was started to respond to population growth and resolve the encroachment of parks. The ultimate goal was to accept the realization of urban planning and experiment with non-financial methods. The characteristics of his PUPG reflecting high modernism were: First, elites were represented in the National Land Planning Association, HURPI, and Jang Moon-gi participated; second, legibility was ensured by using east-west and north-south axes, elevation standards, and rational planning. Third, parks were quickly released to respond to the rapid urban change. Fourth, it showed off events and spectacles to attract private capital.

본 연구는 서울 근대화의 주역인 김현옥 서울시장이 추진한 공원녹지 정책의 경로를 추적하고 그 특성을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 그의 공원녹지 정책 논의를 발전시키기 위해 하이 모더니즘의 관점을 투영하였다. 하이 모더니즘은 전후 도시재건사업에서 나타나는 불가피한 현상으로 국가 엘리트들에 의한 이상적 사회질서와 합리적 계획에 대한 신념의 형태로 출현하였다. 이것의 특징은 가독성 구축, 권력에 의한 신속성과 편의성, 민간 참여와 이익 창출, 그리고 건설되는 도시의 스펙타클을 실현하는 것이었다. 하이 모더니스트로서 김현옥 서울시장의 도시계획은 폭증하는 인구와 서울 영토의 확장에서 비롯되었다. 그리고 그의 공원녹지 정책은 서울 외곽으로 공원을 확장시켰고, 도심에 위치한 공원을 전용하는 이원적 태도를 보였다. 한편 공원조성을 위해 민간의 참여를 유도하였지만 장소성을 소거하고, 관련 제도를 배제하는 근대화의 이면을 보여 주었다. 김현옥 시장의 공원녹지 정책의 경로는 인구증가에 대응하고 공원의 잠식을 해소하는 것에서 출발하였다. 그리고 정책의 궁극적 목표는 도시계획 현실화를 수용하고 비재정방식 실험하는 것이었다. 하이 모더니즘을 반영한 그의 공원녹지 정책의 특성은 첫째, 국토계획학회, HURPI 그리고 장문기로 대표하는 엘리트들이 참여하였고, 둘째, 사방위의 축, 표고 기준 그리고 인구 예측을 반영한 합리적 계획에 의한 공원녹지의 가독성을 구축하였다. 셋째, 급격한 도시변화에 대응하기 위해 신속하게 공원을 해제하였고 넷째, 민간자본을 유치하기 위한 이벤트와 스펙타클을 과시하였다.
