Creating a 'Daehak-ro' Concept Cultural Street Around Incheon Songdo Global Campus

A cultural street with a Daehak-ro concept is being promoted in Songdo International City, Incheon.

On the 21st, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority held the first task force (TF) meeting to create a cultural street around Songdo Incheon Global Campus and Yonsei University International Campus. The TF team, led by Commissioner Kim Jin-yong, consists of 14 members from seven organizations including Incheon Global Campus, Yonsei University, Yeonsu District, and Incheon Research Institute.

At the meeting, participants agreed to establish a vision for the cultural street, create specialized spaces, and devise ways to coexist with the local community. To enhance execution, they also agreed to promote the project in two phases: Phase 1 (from Campus Town Station to the entrance of Yonsei University, and from Technopark Station to the front of Incheon Global Campus) and Phase 2 (expansion of the mini Venice in District 11 and school sites including Yonsei University).

Detailed projects include utilizing green axis plazas, installing multi-level pedestrian decks as specialized spaces, creating infrastructure for pedestrian convenience, and promoting various festivals, performances, exhibitions, and car-free street initiatives.

Songdo International Complex Development Co., Ltd., which is developing Yonsei University International Campus, plans to establish a cultural street master plan linked with the development of commercial land (C1 and C2 blocks) located between Campus Town and Yonsei University.

Commissioner Kim said, "Universities such as Yonsei University and Incheon Global Campus are located around the target area, and there is increasing demand from youth and university students for various cultural activities, experiences, exhibitions, and performances. We will do our best to create and make this a landmark cultural experience street space that leads domestic and international trends."
