Cheonggyecheon, Linear park and restored stream in Central Seoul, South Korea
The Cheonggyecheon extends for 10.9 kilometers through downtown Seoul, featuring stone pathways, bridges, and cascading water features along its course.
In 2003, Seoul initiated a major restoration project to remove concrete coverings and an elevated highway, returning the stream to its natural state by 2005.
The stream incorporates stone sculptures from different provinces of Korea and design elements that represent the connection between North and South Korea.
The waterway maintains consistent temperatures throughout the year and includes 22 bridges for pedestrians and vehicles to cross between neighborhoods.
The restoration increased biodiversity from 62 to 308 plant species and from 4 to 25 fish species within the urban environment.
