Seongsu 1(il)-ga 1(il)-dong

Among Seoul’s neighbourhoods, Seongsu 1(il)-ga 1(il)-dong stands out for the reinvention of former industrial buildings as cafés, studios and independent shops. Close to the Han River on the city’s eastern side, it has become a focal point for design, fashion and small-scale food businesses while retaining traces of its manufacturing past, particularly in footwear production. Seoul Forest, a large public park opened in 2005, lies alongside the district and provides a counterpoint to its dense streets and converted warehouses. The area reflects a changing Seoul where production spaces and contemporary urban culture meet.
