Seongnam, one of the foremostplanned cities inSouth Korean history, was conceived during the era of PresidentPark Chung Hee for the purpose of industrializing the nation by concentrating electronic, textile, and petrochemical facilities there during the 1970s and 1980s. The city featured a network of roads, to Seoul and other major cities likeGwangju, Gyeonggi, from the early 1970s on. Today, Seongnam has merged with the metropolitan network of Seoul. Seongnam has also served as a ′test bed′ of South Korea's urban planning history.Bundang, one of the successful new town projects in the country, has been settled in a southern half of Seongnam since 1991.
Numerous major companies have migrated their headquarters fromDowntown Seoul to Seongnam to help government's plan to accelerate the dispersion ofSeoul's population to its suburbs and relieve the congested Seoul metropolitan area. Seongnam is now home to prominent companies such asKT[4] (formerly Korea Telecom),Naver, andHD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
