This sharing session was organized to allow participants to directly experience the spatial transformation of the Ganeung-dong area, which has been reborn as a street of culture, connection, and communication, in line with the purpose of the C.STREET (Culture-Connection-Communication) Project.

About 100 people, including local residents, Mayor Kim Donggeun, and officials from the Korea Craft & Design Foundation, attended the event. They toured the newly established pedestrian paths and community spaces, confirming the changes in the street environment.

The Ganeung-dong 'C.STREET Walkable Street Project' focused on: ▲ creating a community space under the elevated Ganeung Station ▲ improving pedestrian paths by renovating the Q-Block wall and installing a design louver wall in the Ganeung Station alleyway ▲ upgrading transparent soundproof walls at Uijeongbu Girls' Middle and High Schools ▲ installing canopies and line lighting along school routes.

We will continue to improve urban spaces with a people-centered approach to create a city where citizens want to live."
