Abstract

This study examines the characteristics of housing developments from the 1920s to the 1940s in the northeastern region of Kyeongseong during the Japanese colonial period. These residential districts had different developers and patterns by period. From the 1920s to the early 1930s, official residential districts and cultural housing complexes were created for the Japanese middle class by the Joseon government-general and Japanese development companies. Compared to the housing development near Jangchungdan altar in southeastern Kyeongseong during the same period, the lot and housing size of the residential districts were relatively small due to it being developed for middle-class people working in nearby universities and schools. From the mid-1930s to the 1940s, residential districts were developed by Korean developers and targeted the Korean middle and upper class. This differed from the Japanese residential districts regarding the shape of the residential district, the direction of main streets, the size of the lot, and the type of housing.
