Environmental impact of rapid urbanization; guidelines for policy and planning

In 1971-1972 a case study was made of Seoul, Korea, whose 6.3 million population has been arrived at with a doubling rate of approximately ten years. That case study is summarized in Part III of this document. The urban environmental problems for which guidelines have been formulated are based largely upon the problems studied in Seoul. Interpretations and recommendations developed by nine scientists and engineers who participated in the case study were translated to the extent possible into guidelines of wider applicability.
