The Jamsu Bridge pedestrianisation project aspires to become a beacon of sustainable urban development, fostering connectivity, community engagement, and harmony with nature. By transforming a functional structure into an inclusive, multi-faceted landmark, this endeavour aligns with the principles of social well-being, environmental stewardship, and cultural enrichment that define the future of urban spaces in South Korea.
The proposed pedestrianisation of the Jamsu Bridge presents an exciting opportunity to transform an existing urban infrastructure into an iconic landmark that embodies both innovative design and sustainable technologies. This project aims to redefine the bridge's role from a mere transport corridor to a vibrant, multi-functional space that fosters
community engagement, recreation, and sensory connection with the Han River.
By pedestrianising the Jamsu Bridge, we aim to restore a tangible
connection between people and the river that holds deep cultural
significance. The project recognises the bridge as a symbolic
thread that weaves together the past, present, and future of South
Korea's urban fabric.
