As part of its 2023 green ecological urban regeneration strategy, the city of Seoul has created green open spaces. However, Seoul’s open green space plan focuses only on the sense of spatial openness without considering external thermal comfort. Accordingly, based on a simulation, this study analyzes changes in external thermal comfort owing to the adoption of green open space. To this end, the research scope was set to Mugyo-dong and Da-dong, and analysis derived the following results. When the height of the buildings within the research site is 100m or below, no clear effect of improvement in external thermal comfort due to the increase in building height was observed, but the effect of improvement was more apparent as a result of the form of green space. Moreover, a significant effect on the improvement of thermal comfort depending on green space outside the site was observed. Therefore, to create green open spaces, more attention needs to be paid to the form of green space constructed rather than the height of the building to improve external thermal comfort. This study has significance in that it predicted changes in external thermal comfort in terms of microclimate that is not addressed in Seoul’s open green space plan.
