Mokdong New Town Apartment Boulevard Walk

Planned entirely from scratch in the 1980s as a showcase of Korean urban modernization, the wide tree-lined boulevards of Mokdong's apartment superblocks are a fascinating study in how Seoul imagined its middle-class future. Walking the grid past identical pastel towers, basement supermarkets, and hagwon academies gives foreigners an honest look at the residential Seoul that rarely makes travel content. Architecture and urban planning enthusiasts find this quietly riveting.
