The Presidential Commission on Architecture Policy unveiled new plans to redesign downtown Seoul with a variety of cultural charms, green landscape and historic monuments.
The commission also outlined its visions of environmentally-friendly residential towns across the country and adorning the surroundings of the four major rivers - to be restored this year - with parks, convenient facilities and upscale homes.
The commission has proposed extending the project to cover a nearly 7-kilometer stretch leading to a park in the Han River.
The street will be complete with public squares, a new national history museum, a national modern art museum, a new large performing arts center and other cultural facilities.
The streets will have more green space and easier access to other cultural heritage and tourist spots, the commission said.
