In Seoul, there is The Han River runs across the city. Majority of citizens privilege natural environment in “space” along the Han River.However, expressway along the river cuts the city into parts, because Seoul Metropolitan Government makes the urban planning for traffic than pedestrians.As closer to the Han River, the number of closed buildings increases, making the street environment more desolate. To help citizens feel familiar on the streets to the Han River,we set a goal of developing pedestrian-oriented streets instead of existing transit-oriented roads environment.
