[Seoul] Oh Se-hoon "Creating a Greenbelt in the city center...Seoul into a giant garden"

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon said that in seven to eight years, there will be a huge green axis from Yongsan Park to the Han River, and that Seoul will be transformed into one giant garden.

Mayor Oh attended an international garden symposium co-hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Korea Forest Service, and the National Arboretum to introduce the garden city plan and said this.

In addition, Jongno and Toegye-ro said they will create a green axis developed by combining old cities, and stressed that such garden city policies will increase the desire to walk, reducing the use of passenger cars, and eventually becoming a solution to overcome the climate crisis.

The symposium, designed to explore the importance and role of gardens amid the climate crisis, was attended by world-renowned urban regeneration experts, including former Singapore State Minister Mabutan, who worked on Singapore's landmark garden "Garden's by the Bay" project.
