This study is to examine the public participation activities in the progress of the design competition, purposed to provide urban public spaces by the reuse of industrial heritages. Through the case studies of Berlin Tempelhof Parkland, Mapo Depot and Seoul Station 7017, following activities are common: citizen idea competition, forum, field trip, survey and winners exhibition. However, those activities are more closely organized to the competition process in Tempelhof Parkland, than other tow projects of Seoul Metropolitan Government. Also, it enables to clear and develop the public ideas more that those programs such as survey, citizen idea competition and field trip, are linked to each other in the case of Tempelhof Parkland. It could be achieved by the unified organization between competition preparation and public participation operation.

Inspired by the success of the High-line project in New York, The Seoul Metropolitan Government launched a project to convert an overpass near Seoul station into a pedestrian park. Seoullo 7017 went through instant success after its opening in May 2017; however, there is a continuous controversy over its long-term impact as shown in the exemplary cases like the High-line project. This study aims for quantitative investigation through the comparative analysis between Seoullo 7017 and the High-Line in the perspectives of spatial configuration. Space Syntax was chosen as the analysis method for this research. Integration (3) in Space Syntax is known to have a high correlation with pedestrian volume; thus, by using this method, spatial structure was analyzed by comparing the statistically verified results of changes in the spatial structure of the Highline with those in Seoul. The results indicated that the influence of Seoullo 7017 was less than that of the High-line in terms of spatial configuration. The reason for this difference is spatial configuration between Manhattan and Seoul. The High-line is located in Manhattan which has an urban grid structure, whereas Seoul has non-geometric urban structure, the neighborhood unit in Korea. Also the center of the overpass isn't connected well with its surroundings.
