Seoul, South Korea’s 600-year-old capitol, was largely destroyed during the Korean War (1950-53). When it was re-built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, a 3.5 mile elevated highway was erected over what used to be an important stream. The $330-million project, which was completed roughly three years ago, included fountains, sculptures, and 22 bridges in various in interesting styles—one was built to resemble a tall ship, another the wings of a bird. And now, it includes Wi-Fi. Mar 4, 2008 |
