M.I.N.E.

It seems that Seoul truely lacks the cultural spaces it needs to provide for a youth population. Many young people seem to revolve around eating and drinking

whether its the bars in hongdae or the coffee shops or markets in shinsadong or samcheongdong. What really the city needs is truely human scale interactions between the public and spaces

that the construction creates. The row upon row of parked cars on pavements in gangnam seems to suggest that humans are unwanted on the streets of the city. 

A preferable cityscape one in which a scene from 28 days later the movie is replayed, all he humans scared to use the sidewalk or even congregate in public spaces for fear of cars running into the pavement to park. 

The use of more public street furniture is always a positive reaction to the urban development of a city but it seems that in seoul people either dont have time to sit and wait, or the land owners dont want you to sit on their property. Could it be the pace of life doesnt allow for such a human action to take place? with people always rushing around the city and then using

the time at home to rest?

I feel that in the next few years the reduction of paving space will allow more pedestrians to feel safe walking along the sidewalks and the

 appearance of gueri

lla benches all around the city will facilitate in the calming of the urban environment. Car city killed!
