^oh i did not know that thank you for the information^

probably its just not in europes news because its economical role is more important for asia and not for europe itself like the more globally exporting nations china and japan, thinking about it, then it makes quite sense. China gets its wealth because the export economy is booming and now that china is booming south korea who isnt exporting too much to america and europe, but china, gets the cake a bit later and can rise now too. of course i know that south korea was always much more wealthy than china, but with skyscrapers its quite a different aspect i believe. but not sure haha just correct me if im talking nonsense again i just try to picture the situation

It'd be like using Seoul proper, Incheon (sort of analogous to Yokohama) and most of Gyeonggi-do to figure out "Seoul's" GDP. Tokyo plays the same game with population statistics. Not to say that Tokyo isn't massive, but the city proper itself isn't even in the top ten by population. Not to mention, both Hong Kong and Shanghai have significantly more buildings between 200m and 300m than Seoul, so it'd make as much sense, going just by numbers, to have a few very tall buildings in place of those cities' dozens of "just" tall ones.

Edit: There's also a second number, the "official" estimate which is more than twice the number from Price-Waterhouse Cooper, which makes me think that it's for all of the Seoul National Capital Area. It's 657$ billion, which would put the city in the top 10, up from 21st for the city proper.

but little bit delayed or prolong. Because today new idiot mayor suggest guide line for hyundai tower which beside negociation with seoul goverment +plus hearing "citizen's opinion" concers about this project.

[BarbaricManchurian]

Sooooo many false starts for Korean supertalls

[erbse]

Is there some initiative against the Seoul major or something?

In the end, he's blocking the free flow of capitalism and development in "his" city.

I don't quite get what's the point in doing that. A saboteur perhaps?

[Thanial]

With Japan not in its best economical state South Korea could really be benefitting, but instead this single mayor seems to be holding back the future of his city, the new Gadaffi anyone?

Could possibly be an agent from Pyongyang?

[krkseg1ops]

[inno4321]

Unfortunately Until June, 2014. He is a human disaster for Seoul.
Eventually he spoiled Hyundai global business center.
Please come to my thread which collected for cancelled and stalled project by mayor.

I'm strongly recommend to Hyundai to built their global center in Frankfurt, Germany not in seoul. Original plan was Frankfurt

Correctly!! It is a saboteur for Seoul.

Three month ago Seoullite cancelled. Yesterday this project also stalled. I counted at least 17 major project cancelled during past 1 years
It is intenional saboteur. Sadly seoul begin to slumism.

[inno4321]

Unofficial news.
But accordding to the some source Hyundai GBC tower will be built in Seoulite site in sangam DMC of seoul.

Actually Seoulite tower is 133floors 640m but cancelled. However seoulite resume by central goverment of s.korea today(19/sept).(not by seoul goverment)

At the moment Seoul mayor very pessimistict concern this project(Hyundai GBC in dock sum). So Hyudai remove GBC site to Seoulite site instead give up dock sum site which is original plan.

But this is just rumors.... I'm just inform to SSC.
