Yesterday's Korea Times reported the following:
Seoul to withdraw redevelopment plans
The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to cancel large-scale housing projects in some districts, considering residents’ opposition to the development, a city official said Sunday.
“We have been at odds with residents of some areas that have been designated as sites for the New Town project,” the official said. “We will cancel some of designations if residents remain against the project.”
The city government had designated a total of 247 zones for redevelopment since 2002, but construction has not started in over 80 percent of the zones.
Delays are largely attributed to objection from residents and conflicts between resident associations and construction firms. Critics also argue that the simultaneous designation of many areas as New Towns caused instability in housing prices there and surrounding areas, making it difficult for residents to resettle.
The city government will soon announce more details on the annulment of the project after collecting more opinions from citizens and experts and coming up with alternative measures...

Well, it's possibly(??) a first step in the right direction...
But - IMHO - the problem of "redevelopment", especially in Seoul's downtown areas, can't be solved just by putting the planned projects just on hold! (More about the issue in the next days...!)
