Planning notes for Seoul
Seoul, located in the central region of the Korean Peninsula, has functioned as a capital for over 600 years. Its history as a political center dates back to 18 BC with the Baekje Kingdom and later as a major administrative hub during the Goryeo Dynasty. In 1394, King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty designated the city, then known as Hanyang, as the national capital. This era established the cityβs urban layout.
