Developing countries face a severe problem of housing shortage as slum and squatter settlements proliferate with rapid urbanization, whereas Korea has overcome the problem by adopting mass production of housing. This study provides empirical evidences that characterize Korean urban and housing development model and derives implications for solving housing problems in developing countries. Based on the theory of developmental state in which strong government intervention is associated with private capital of large corporations, it first illustrates how large construction companies have initiated high-density multi-family housing (apartment) development in Korea. This argument is then empirically supported by statistics showing the structure of housing construction industry. Furthermore, international comparison of the size and density of housing estate development among developing countries (Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippine), western countries (UK, France, United States), and Korea reveals that Korea has the highest development density. In contrast, developing countries are characterized by small size and low density of residential development, which results only in limited housing supply. It is therefore discussed how the Korean model can be applied to developing countries, taking account of policy variations in each country. |
