Seoul snapshots II

Snapshots from the second day in Seoul. After site visit to the Ewha Campus Complex Bert de Muynck|movingcities went exploring Seoul’s Inner Circle Line. Build between 1978 and 1984, it is the city’s longest subway line, with a total length of 60,2 kilometer and 43 stations. Investigating the state of the contemporary city in and around stations like Sinseol-dong, Sinsa, Banpo, Dairim and Dangsan gave some impression of the interplay of density – big housing blocks surrounded by semi low-rise self-built structures – and mobility in this 10 million inhabitants metropolis.
