Gukhoe-daero park leads directly to the National Assembly Building; it should represent the future of healthy and resilient city building. A 21st century park must generate value on multiple levels, socially, environmentally and economically. It must address the future of cities in terms of ecological resilience, the needs of populations in terms of health, sustenance and recreation, and needs to be flexible and multi-functional from a productive point of view. A new linear park on Gukhoe-Daero can also help bring together disconnected urban communities, ecological areas and people.

What is the DNA of such a healthy city? We believe that it is composed of three “strands”, each associated with a type of space:

1) Productive spaces

2) Active space

3) Wild spaces

Only when these three strands are brought together can citizens live healthy, active lives.
