Ten students and two professors (Dr. Burrell Montz and Dr. Misun Hur) visited Seoul, South Korea, this summer. With “sustainable urbanism” as the main theme, the program has four focuses: Environmental innovation, transportation innovation, world and historic architecture, and culture.
Students visited 32+ sites, including Seoul Transport Operation and Information Service center (SEOUL TOPIS), the Incheon Free Economic Zone (iFez), the Chenggyecheon Stream Restoration Project, and the World Cup Park. We met urban designers, landscape architects, city officials, and historians to hear from the professionals directly.
