Cheonggyecheon (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cheonggyecheon is a nearly 6 km long, modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul, South Korea. The massive urban renewal project is on the site of a stream that flowed before the rapid post-war economic development required it to be covered by transportation infrastructure. The $900 million project initially attracted much public criticism, but after opening in 2005 has become popular among city residents and tourists.
