Taking back the cities is possible: Seoul transformed a highway into a stream and a park-like pedestrian-only public space.

It doesn’t just provide a peaceful refuge from the city’s busy streets, it serves as a cultural corridor with year-round festivals and performances, while helping cool the surrounding neighbourhoods, fighting air pollution and managing increasingly intense monsoon floods."
