| Summary |
In 2003, the city of Seoul took a rare step _back in time_, demolishing a major downtown freeway to uncover and restore the ancient Chonggyecheon stream that once flowed beneath it.An impressive feat of engineering, the project re-purposed nearly 75 percent of the dismantled highway material for reconstruction and rehabilitation of the stream_s banks and commercial corridor.The Cheonggyecheon is now a vital part of the city_s commercial and tourism sectors, and has proven that environmental restoration can revive culture and community, as well. The project however does have its critics, mainly environmentalists.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Executive Producers: Karena Albers and Tad Fettig. Produced by Kontentreal for TVF International |
