The Cheonggyecheon restoration project was centered on revitalizing the Cheonggyecheon Stream that had been covered for decades by a highway overpass. The city of Seoul used its own resources to bring new life to the downtown by enhancing the urban environment. The restoration of the Cheonggyecheon Stream led to the revitalization of central Seoul, unleashing the potential for green public space.
