‘Cheongdam Station Fine Dust Free Zone’ Upgrade

Creation of Unique Themed Spaces Including Smart Farm and 'Mimiwi Gangnam' Photo Zone in a 230m Section of the 650m Underground Passage

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) recently upgraded a unique themed space by adding greenery and convenience facilities to a 230m section of the 650m-long “Fine Dust Free Zone” created in the underground passage of Cheongdam Station on Subway Line 7.

To create a natural environment within the city, the district started the Fine Dust Free Zone improvement project in June and unveiled a resident-customized resting area full of attractions such as a smart farm, wall waterfall, media wall, and the “Mimiwi Gangnam” photo zone at the completion ceremony on the 27th.

In particular, the 400㎡ smart farm, an agricultural method that uses information and communication technology (ICT) to automatically monitor and manage crop growth environments, helps residents exhausted from COVID-19 to heal through various herbs and air-purifying plants.

A photo zone using the style brand “Mimiwi Gangnam” is set up in front of “Usumma-dang” near Exit 1 of Cheongdam Station, where visitors can take commemorative photos, and the media wall adds fun by allowing people to view photos or videos they have taken themselves.

Earlier, Gangnam-gu led the creation of resting areas where residents can freely walk and exercise regardless of air quality by establishing a “Fine Dust Free Zone” in the Seolleung underground passage, where pedestrian traffic decreased due to the installation of a crosswalk in early July, and expanding and installing the free zone in the Yeoksam underground passage by the end of the year.
