Cheonggyecheon, a stream running through Seoul, transformed from an elevated highway into a pedestrian-friendly space, represents a global trend of repurposing urban infrastructure.
The Cheonggyecheon stream not only provides a peaceful refuge but also acts as a cultural corridor hosting year-round festivals and events, enhancing community life and tourism.
This project has significantly contributed to cooling the surrounding neighborhoods, combating air pollution, and improving flood management, showcasing sustainable urban development.
By restoring the Cheonggyecheon stream, Seoul's planners have prioritized human-centric city design, reflecting a broader global shift away from car-centric urban planning.
