Seoullo 7017, Elevated linear park in Jung District, South Korea
The 17 connected pathways of Seoullo 7017 stretch across central Seoul, providing gardens, walking paths, and public art installations at rooftop level.
The structure originated as a traffic overpass in 1970 before its transformation into a public park, marking the shift from vehicle-centric to pedestrian-oriented urban planning.
The name Seoullo combines Seoul with 'lo', meaning road in Korean, while 7017 refers to its construction date and renovation year.
Visitors access the park through multiple entry points near Seoul Station, with tourist information centers and cafes located along the elevated walkways.
The gardens contain 24,000 plants representing 228 species native to Korea, arranged in alphabetical order according to their Korean names.
