In the 1950s and 60s, Seoul built an elevated highway through the middle of the city. Then in the early 2000s they removed it and turned it into a river ... and traffic actually got better.
I lived in Busan at the time this project was done, and visited Seoul only a few weeks after it opened. I didn’t know anything about urbanism at the time, I just knew it was such an incredibly nice place to be.
