Songdo International Business District (IBD) occupies over 1,500 acres of reclaimed land on the West Coast of Incheon, Korea. This waterfront master plan includes a diverse array of programmatic elements and is designed to be a pedestrian friendly city with walkable streets and an urban density that allows for an active street life. The city will offer a quality of life unlike that of any other Asian city.
The residential portion of the plan will include buildings ranging from 4 to 65 stories providing over 20,000 high-quality living units for 60,000 residents. The residential neighborhoods have large green areas and all parking is below grade. A new 100-acre recreational park features strongly at the city’s center.
A 70-story mixed-use landmark tower will be constructed at one end of the Central Park adjacent to the 1.2-million-square-foot ConvensiA Convention Center. The tower will contain retail, residences, and office space with an observation deck on the 70th floor. Between the tower and the convention center will be a civic plaza. Additional facilities included in the master plan are a K-12 International School, a central park, and numerous residential, cultural and commercial buildings.
