Incheon city announced Wednesday it will build a sweeping urban connectivity corridor called "Chorok Eum-gil" — a green-and-culture spine linking Central Park, the Arts and Culture Center, Guwol-dong Rodeo Street, the Munhak K-Culture Park and the Guwol District 2 development zone. The plan aims to connect previously fragmented green spaces, cultural venues, commercial districts and residential areas into a single walkable living zone, boosting urban vitality across the city. Wednesday's announcement follows the "Incheon Urban Space Innovation Vision" unveiled last month. Mayor Park Chan-dae visited the Central Park revitalization project site Wednesday, reviewing the first phase — a barrier-free pedestrian greenway — and examining plans for the linked second, third and fourth phases to follow. The city said it will reconnect pedestrian routes through Central Park that had been severed by roads, and strengthen walking links to cultural programming at the nearby Arts and Culture Center and to the commercial district along Guwol-dong Rodeo Street. The strategy is to draw visitors from the park into cultural and shopping destinations, strengthening the local economy. The Munhak K-Culture Park, planned for the area around Munhak Stadium, will be developed as a cultural tourism hub concentrating K-pop performances, e-sports and webtoon and character content. The city plans to combine the corridor project with the Guwol District 2 public housing development to create a self-sufficient urban environment where residents can live close to work. "We will gather input from residents and experts to draw up detailed plans and carry out each phase of the project without delay," a city official said.
