Abstract：

The South Korean government has always attached importance to the balanced development. From the perspective of GDP per capita, the country has basically achieved a balanced development nationwide around 2000. While the rate of urbanization has reached 90% in South Korea, the population of Seoul Metropolitan Area(MA) is still growing rapidly, which brought drastic change to the spatial distribution of employment and housing. The characteristics of population evolution and spatial distribution in Seoul MA since 1960 are combed in this paper. It is found that rapid rail transit has greatly supported the expansion of MA and intensified the increase of employment density in core areas. Finally, from the perspective of profit-sharing, the internal logic behind the evolution of MA is analyzed.  We believe that individuals profit from the initial economic behavior to the public service facilities with the continuous development of MA. Benefiting from infrastructure scale, public service facilities, human resources, technology spillover and other conditions, the spatial evolution of MA will follow the principle of circular cumulative causation, and continue the unbalanced polarization development model which can maximize the space efficiency. The case of Seoul MA is of great practical significance to the development of China’s metropolitan area. It is mainly manifested that for the metropolitan area with large population hinterland, trying to control the growth of population scale is often ineffective. The allocation of public service resources is the core of the regulation of population distribution in MA.
