Itstransition to a pedestrian haven and green space in themiddle of an urban area is a remarkable story. Prior tomodern day Seoul, the Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910)maintained the river with regular dredging for floodrisk management, as the river swelled during the heavysummer rainfall. After the Korean War (1950–1953), asmore people migrated into the city the river becamethe site of makeshift housing. Deteriorating conditionsresulted to the development of an elevated highwayconstructed atop the river. In July 2003, then Seoulmayor, Lee Myung-bak had a vision to remove theelevated highway and its heavy traffic and restore thestream and surrounding area to a public green space.The 900 million project initially attracted much publiccriticism but, after opening in 2005, the stream hasproved popular among residents and tourists alike andis an example of green growth in action.See Case Study in page 14 and 15.Dongtan New TownMAP CThe government built new town that plays a corerole in the suburbs of the Seoul metropolitan area toinduce the balanced development of the metropolitanarea by avoiding the centralized spatial structure ofthe Seoul metropolitan area and to prevent disorderlydevelopment activities in areas with high developmentpressure.
