The purpose of this study was to analyze the historical development of high-rise buildings-promoting policies in Seoul in terms of modern urban redevelopment. The results of this study were as follows; The maximum height of the buildings has been limited by National codes since 1934. But at the same time, Seoul Metropolitan government had limited the minimum building floors of roadside buildings through local regulations after the Korean War. The high-rise city had been regarded as a means of beautifying Seoul for a long time. However since the 2000s, the minimum height limit for buildings was removed from local regulations and the concept of high-rise restrictions was no longer significant as before.
