Showcasing the positive social, environmental and economic impact of a walkable city.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) regards walking as the most equitable means of transportation available to citizens. The Walkable City Seoul project was launched to ensure the city is a place where all citizens can safely enjoy walking in and around urban streets and public spaces regardless of whether motor vehicles are allowed or not.
Seoullo 7017, a tourism network that connects 17 pedestrian roads, is an initiative of the Walkable City Seoul project. This urban regeneration initiative aims to revitalize the local economy by promoting walking tours of the city's historical and cultural heritage sites.
