[00:00:00] 도시 차별화와 새로운 라이프스타일 제시

서울과 부산의 차이를 뉴욕과 샌프란시스코의 대비처럼 보여주려고 합니다. 해안 도시 부산의 독특함을 기반으로 새로운 라이프스타일과 도시 이미지를 제안합니다.

부산은 서울과는 다른, 뉴욕과 샌프란시스코처럼 차별화된 워터프론트 공간과 라이프스타일을 보여줘야 한다는 제안
대전 편에 이어 부산에 대한 이야기를 시작하며, 부산이 한국 최초의 진정한 도시라는 의견 제시
[00:00:58] 부산의 지리와 역사

부산은 태백산맥과 맞닿은 자연 환경과 인접한 해안선으로 인해 선형 도시 구조가 형성되었습니다. 또한, 전쟁 시기에 고밀도가 형성되며 상업과 사회 발전의 새로운 모델이 만들어졌음을 설명합니다.

부산의 지리적 특성: 태백산맥이 바다로 이어지는 독특한 지형과 가파른 산악지형으로 인한 선형 도시 형성
부산의 특징적인 해안선: 인천과 달리 조수간만의 차가 적어 항상 바다를 볼 수 있는 특성
한국전쟁 시기 부산의 역사적 배경: 최고 인구밀도와 산복도로 마을의 형성, 상업 발전의 계기
국제시장의 형성과 상업 발전이 도시 공간 구조에 미친 영향을 설명하며, 상인들이 토지 없이도 거래를 통해 부를 축적할 수 있게 되었음을 설명합니다.
자수성가가 가능한 사회가 형성되면서 부의 이동이 가능해지고, 이는 사회 발전과 민주화로 이어졌습니다.
17세기 런던과 18세기 파리의 예시를 들어, 상업 발달과 도시 고밀도화가 새로운 부유층을 만들어내고 혁명으로 이어진 과정을 설명합니다.
한국의 동학혁명과 1987년 민주화 운동을 비교하며, 도시화와 밀도가 민주화 운동의 성공에 미친 영향을 분석합니다.
부산·마산 민주화 운동이 한국 최초의 강력한 시민 저항이 된 배경으로, 이 지역의 높은 도시 밀도와 빠른 도시화를 설명합니다.
[00:04:39] 고밀도 구조의 한계와 인프라 문제

부산의 고밀도 도시 구조가 상업 발전에 기여한 반면, 공공 공간의 부족 및 도시 설계 미비 문제도 드러납니다. 이러한 문제를 부산 Port Authority를 통한 체계적 개발로 해결할 필요성을 강조합니다.

고밀도 도시화의 한계점으로 공간 부족 문제를 지적하며, 부산의 공공 공간 부족 현상과 부산항만공사의 역할에 대해 논의합니다.
부산항만공사가 관리하는 광활한 해안 매립지를 체계적으로 개발하면 부산의 여러 문제를 한 번에 해결할 수 있습니다.
부산은 바다에서 시작해 뒤로 가파르게 올라가는 지형으로, 해안선을 따라 등고선 형태로 개발되어 있어 균일한 고도를 활용할 수 있습니다.
지하 물류 시스템과 자율 로봇을 활용한 운송이 가능하며, 부산의 수평적 구조는 에너지 효율적인 물류 시스템 구축에 유리합니다.
경사면 에스컬레이터 설치를 통한 사회적 격차 해소와 수평적 균형 창출로 효과적인 도시 인프라를 구축할 수 있습니다.
해안가의 활용도를 높이기 위해 외곽도로, 해상버스 시스템, 보행자 친화적인 데크 등의 인프라 구축이 필요합니다.
북항 개발의 경우, 단순한 주상복합 건물 건설이 아닌 새로운 도시 모델로 발전시킬 수 있는 잠재력이 있습니다.
[00:07:14] 해안 자산과 인구 유출 문제

부산 해안을 둘러싼 부동산 가치 상승 가능성과, 수도권으로 인구가 유출되는 현실을 언급합니다. 해안을 통한 새로운 생활문화와 교통 인프라 개발이 필요함을 제안합니다.

부산은 일자리 부족으로 인한 젊은 여성들의 수도권 이탈, 이어서 남성들의 이주로 인구 유출 문제를 겪고 있습니다.
부산은 가족이 있는 사람들만 남고 새로운 파트너를 찾는 사람들은 수도권으로 이동하는 상황입니다.
부산의 가장 큰 장점은 바다와의 근접성이며, 이는 서울의 한강변 주택처럼 부동산 가치 상승의 기회를 제공합니다.
홍콩, 싱가포르, 맨해튼과 같은 도시들도 수변 공간을 가진 도시들로, 물 위의 빈 공간이 주는 가치가 매우 높습니다.
부산은 이러한 지리적 특성을 활용해 서울과는 다른 도시와 라이프스타일을 만들어 수도권 과밀화를 막을 수 있습니다.
현재 부산은 서울의 트렌드를 따라가기만 하여 인구가 감소하고 있으며, 교통이 더욱 편리해지면 이러한 현상이 심화될 수 있습니다.
10년 전 서울과 부산의 18도 기온차처럼, 차별화된 라이프스타일을 제시하면 수도권 인구를 부산으로 유치할 수 있습니다.
와이키키 비치와 같은 관광지처럼 해운대를 발전시켜야 한다는 제안이 있습니다.
과거 해운대는 몇몇 건물과 해변만 있는 단순한 공간이었지만, 현재는 다양한 시설과 활동이 가능한 복합 공간으로 발전했습니다.
서울에서는 찾아볼 수 없는 독특한 수변 공간을 개발하여 차별화된 도시 경험을 제공해야 합니다.
부산의 수변 공간을 제대로 개발하면 대체 불가능한 도시가 될 수 있으며, 현재 도로와 구조물의 재정비가 필요합니다.
부산은 따뜻한 해안성 기후, 대도시 인프라, 접근성이라는 장점을 가지고 있습니다.
한국의 광케이블 인프라 성공 사례처럼, 부산의 높은 인구밀도는 스마트 인프라 투자의 효율성을 보장할 수 있습니다.
부산은 차세대 스마트시티 기술을 대규모로 도입하여 새로운 벤처생태계를 조성할 수 있습니다.
인프라 구축은 새로운 산업 창출로 이어지며, 광케이블 설치로 카카오와 네이버가 성장한 것처럼 부산의 높은 인구밀도를 활용한 스마트 인프라 구축이 필요합니다.
도시의 차별화를 위해서는 자신만의 강점을 이해하고, 부산은 해안도시의 특성과 높은 밀도를 활용한 새로운 인프라 개발이 필요합니다.
[00:12:58] 부산 건축 투어와 도시 디자인 혁신

부산의 상징적 건축물들, 예를 들어 Busan Harbor Bridge와 Gwangan Bridge, Gamcheon Village를 소개합니다. 이들 건축물은 도시의 기능성과 미학을 동시에 구현하는 혁신적 디자인 사례로 평가됩니다.

부산항 대교는 20층 높이의 나선형 인터체인지를 갖춘 독특한 구조물로, 롤러코스터와 같은 특별한 경험을 제공합니다.
부산의 다리들은 한강과 달리 대형 선박 통행을 위해 사장교 형태로 설계되어 있으며, 이는 공학적 과제이자 관광 자원이 되었습니다.
야간에 조명이 설치된 광안대교는 해운대와 대비되어 광안리 지역의 야간 활성화에 기여하고 있습니다.
영도대교는 일제강점기에 건설된 도개교로, 20세기 건축에서 중요한 기계와 건축의 결합을 보여주는 독특한 사례입니다.
도개교는 일반적인 고정 인프라와 달리 반도체처럼 연결과 단절을 조절할 수 있는 특별한 구조물입니다.
도개교는 20세기를 대표하는 기계식 통합 시스템으로, 21세기 도시는 정보화 시대의 특징인 첨단 통신, 광통신, AI 등으로 정의됩니다.
자연 경사를 활용한 테라스형 주거 설계가 세종시와 송도에서 적용되어 혁신적인 주거 공간을 만들어내고 있습니다.
1980년대 아파트 설계의 장점을 살리면서, 현대에는 타워형과 판상형을 결합하고 주차장을 공원으로 활용하는 등 발전된 설계가 가능합니다.
오래된 아파트도 리모델링을 통해 가치를 높일 수 있으며, 주변 환경이 좋다면 세대수를 늘리지 않고도 높은 가격에 판매가 가능합니다.
현대 소비자들은 공간의 질적 가치를 인식하기 시작했으며, 나인원 한남과 같은 사례에서 볼 수 있듯이 하이브리드형 주거 모델의 수요가 증가하고 있습니다.
절개지의 전망을 활용한 개발이 더 이익이 되었을 것이며, 창신동과 같은 지역에서도 이러한 접근이 가능했을 것이라고 설명
서울-과천 구간의 절개지에 독특한 디자인의 호텔 건설을 제안하며, 24도 경사의 지형적 특성을 언급
샌프란시스코의 트램이나 홍콩의 에스컬레이터처럼 경사를 활용한 대중교통 시설의 필요성을 강조
부산의 경사진 지형을 활용하지 못하는 현실을 지적하며, 기반시설 투자의 필요성을 강조
감천문화마을과 산토리니의 건축적 차이점을 설명하며, 기후 조건과 건축 방식의 차이점 분석
소방 규정 등 도시계획 문제와 특구 지정을 통한 해결 방안 제시
[00:19:20] 부산을 위한 미래 방향과 정체성 강화

부산만의 강점을 극대화하여 서울과 차별화된 도시 정체성을 구축할 필요를 역설합니다. 일본과의 지리적 근접성과 인프라 투자를 통한 스마트 시티 구축이 부산의 무한한 발전 가능성을 보여줍니다.

부산의 대도시로서의 정체성과 잠재력을 강조하며, 일본과의 근접성을 활용한 발전 가능성 제시
I believe we need to show that level of difference
between Seoul and Busan
Like the difference between New York and San Francisco
We need to show a new lifestyle
How to differentiate that waterfront space
If we can properly develop that concept
It will become a truly irreplaceable city
Hello Watson everyone
In this session
Since we received such great responses to our Daejeon episode
Another city I love
We're going to talk about Busan
I think Busan is a special city
From my perspective
I consider Busan to be the first true city
During Japanese colonial period, Gyeongseong was another major city
And during Joseon Dynasty, Hanyang was the big city
But in my view
The density was quite low
When we talk about a city
It should have at least two-story density
With developed commerce in a high-density society
Where social mobility occurs through commerce
Creating wealth, moving beyond agricultural economy
That's the kind of society it needs to be
And I think Busan might be the first case of this
That's what I think
First of all, Busan
Is a special city created by its geographical environment and historical background
That's how we can see it
Looking at Busan
The Taebaek Mountain range extends
Through Pohang, Gyeongju, and Busan
All the way down where mountains meet the sea
That's the shape it takes
As a result
There are incredibly high mountains right next to the coast
There's actually very little flat land
So naturally
As a result
Following the contours along the coast
A linear city was formed
Among many cities in our country
Cities right next to the sea are rare
Even Incheon and other famous port cities
The difference is that there
They have huge tidal differences
When the tide is low
Mudflats spread out in front
The sea is only there when the tide is in
So
Cities in the South Sea like Busan
Don't have much tidal difference
The sea is always there in front
I think that's Busan's biggest characteristic
As for the historical background, what's unique is
Through the Korean War
In Korean peninsula history
It became the most densely populated city ever
Due to North Korea's invasion
Refugees quickly gathered in Busan
As a result
An incredibly dense city was created
It's beyond imagination
If you go to certain areas in Busan
Usa, which was a cattle farm during Japanese colonial period
I believe we need to show that level of difference
between Seoul and Busan
Like the difference between New York and San Francisco
we need to show a new lifestyle
How to differentiate that waterfront space
If we can properly solve this now
It will become a truly irreplaceable city

Looking at Busan
The Taebaek Mountain range extends
Through Pohang, Gyeongju, and Busan
All the way down where the mountains meet the sea
That's the shape it takes
Because of this
There are incredibly high mountains right next to the sea
There's actually very little flat land
So naturally

Following the contours along the coast
A linear city was formed
Among many cities in our country
Cities right next to the sea are rare

Due to North Korea's invasion
Refugees quickly gathered in Busan
As a result
An incredibly dense city was created
It's beyond imagination
If you go to certain areas in Busan
Usa, which was a cattle farm during Japanese colonial period
People just moved in to live there
and built two-story houses and lived there
And on the sloped land
many hillside villages were formed
Usually
buildings aren't constructed on such steep slopes
but many buildings were built there
When density increases
the people who benefit the most
are merchants, as I mentioned
There are many customers around to buy their goods
and that's how markets are formed
And the first well-known market that formed was
the 'Gukje Market'
The formation of Gukje Market means
that there was an urban spatial structure
that could support such active commerce
This brings about a significant change
Having many merchants means
even without owning land
you could become wealthy
It becomes a world where people can
create value through transactions with others
This means
a society where self-made success became possible
Such an environment was created
So typically
when self-made success becomes possible
it becomes a ladder of wealth mobility
and leads to social evolution
A democratic society is formed
So if you look at history
in 17th century London
there were four-story buildings
Commerce must have been highly developed
Merchants made money
and furthermore
through overseas trade
many merchants made enormous wealth
Then a new wealthy class emerged
and these people began
to take power from the king
So
in 1688, the Glorious Revolution succeeded
In Paris, in the 18th century
there were six-story buildings
They also had developed commerce
and urban bourgeoisie emerged
Then these people
succeeded in the French Revolution of 1789
beheading the king
In our country, around 1894
the Donghak Revolution occurred
but with low density and gathering farmers
things didn't work out properly
It didn't succeed
But then we
living in 12-story apartments
with complete urbanization, in 1987
succeeded in the June Struggle
I've mentioned this before
Though it has no sociological basis
from an architect's perspective
as urban density increases
merchant class and new wealthy class emerge
and these people
try to take power from above
leading to democratic revolutions
People just moved in to live there
and some built two-story houses and lived there
And on the sloped land
many hillside villages were created
Usually
buildings aren't constructed on such steep slopes
but many buildings were built there
When density increases
the people who benefit most
are merchants, as I mentioned
There are many customers around to buy their goods
and that's how markets form
And the first well-known market that was created
was the 'Gukje Market'
The fact that Gukje Market was established means
that there was an urban spatial structure
that could support such active commerce
This brings about a significant change because
having many merchants means
even without land ownership
you could become wealthy
Through transactions with others
you can create added value
This means
a society where self-made success became possible
Such an environment was created
So generally
when self-made success becomes possible
it becomes a ladder of wealth mobility
and society evolves
A democratic society is formed
If you look at history
in 17th century London
there were four-story buildings
Commerce must have flourished
Merchants made money
and moreover
through foreign trade
many merchants made enormous wealth
Then a new wealthy class emerged
and these people began
to take power from the king
So
in 1688, the Glorious Revolution succeeded
In Paris's case, in the 18th century
there were six-story buildings
They also had urban bourgeoisie
as commerce developed
And then those people
beheaded the king in 1789
succeeding in the French Revolution
In Korea, around 1894
the Donghak Revolution occurred
but with low density and peasant mobilization
it didn't work out properly
It failed
But then when we
lived in 12-story apartments
and urbanization was complete, in 1987
the June Uprising succeeded
I've mentioned this before
Though it has no sociological basis
from an architect's perspective
as urban density increases
merchant class and new wealthy class emerge
and these people
try to take power from above
leading to democratic revolutions
So, what we can see is
The first civil resistance in Korea
The most powerful civil resistance
was called the Busan-Masan Democratic Movement
It was a democratic uprising in the Busan and Masan regions
The reason it happened there was
Since the Korean War
that area had a much higher density
and urbanized earlier than any other region in Korea
Because of this
those who made money through commerce
created a new wealthy class
and demands for democracy increased
That's how we can see it
These are the advantages, but
The lack of space is a chronic
limitation
And in fact
it's not easy to solve
Our country didn't properly plan cities
create parks
and secure space before building cities
In Busan
there's almost no public space left for citizens
But in this case
the solution to this problem
I think the key is
held by the Busan Port Authority
The Busan Port Authority
along the coast
owns a tremendous amount of land
Some were created through land reclamation
If we develop these systematically
many of Busan's problems
could be solved at once
That's what I think
And another thing is
what can be considered Busan's advantage
starting from the sea
though it rises steeply toward the back
as the city formed along the coastline
following the contour lines
many areas developed this way
This means
when you go to the shore
the elevation becomes similar
So eventually
if we utilize this similar height well
we could implement bicycle systems
As I've emphasized many times
underground logistics systems
autonomous robots
through underground tunnels like sewers
transporting goods is actually
when going up and down
consumes a lot of energy
In Gangnam's case, because there are many hills
even with underground logistics tunnels
going up and down
will consume a lot of energy
But
in horizontal areas
formed along contour lines
like in Busan
since it's a linear set
if we dig just one underground logistics tunnel
many areas of the city can benefit
many areas of the city can benefit
that's what it would be
And as we discussed before in SherlockHyunjun
So what we can see from this is
The first civil uprising in Korea
The truly powerful civil resistance
was called the Busan-Masan Democratic Movement
It was a democracy movement that occurred in the Busan and Masan regions
The reason it happened there was
Since the Korean War
That area had a much higher density
And urbanized earlier than any other region in Korea
Because of that
Those who made money through commerce
A new wealthy class emerged
And demands for democracy increased
That's how we can see it
These are the advantages, but
The lack of space is a chronic
limitation
But in reality
It's not easy to solve
Our country didn't properly plan cities
Create parks
And then build cities after securing space
In Busan
There's almost no public space left for citizens
But in this case
The solution to this problem would be
In my opinion, the key is
held by the Busan Port Authority
The Busan Port Authority
Along the coastline
Has vast amounts of land spaces
Some were created through land reclamation
If we develop these systematically
Many of Busan's problems
Could be solved at once
That's what I think
And another thing is
What can be considered an advantage of Busan
Starting from the sea
Though it rises steeply towards the back
Since the city formed along the coastline
Following the contour lines
Many areas were formed this way
This means
If you go to the beach
The elevation becomes similar
So eventually
If we utilize this similar height well
We could actually implement bicycle systems
As I've emphasized many times
Underground logistics systems
Self-driving robots
Through underground tunnels like sewers
Transporting goods is actually
When going up and down
Consumes a lot of energy
In Gangnam's case, because there are many hills
Even if we dig underground logistics tunnels
Going up and down
Will consume a lot of energy
But
Horizontally laid out
Formed along the contour lines
In Busan's case
Since it's a linear set
If we dig just one underground logistics tunnel
Many areas of the city can benefit
Many areas of the city can benefit
That's what it would be
And as we discussed before in Watson's show
If we install escalators
on these hillside roads
it can help reduce social gaps
and create more horizontal accessibility
becoming good social infrastructure
As we discussed before
if we apply these concepts more
Busan could become a great city
For most people currently
the seafront is just an endpoint
where they just look at the ocean
and have to turn back
However, if we have
the outer road
I mean, along the coast
with well-connected sea bus networks
as infrastructure
or if there are decks connecting
pedestrian-friendly streets
the meeting point of water and land would have different meaning
If this becomes active
many parts of Busan's
road traffic congestion
can be supported by this system
When the ground transportation system
and maritime transportation system
become balanced
the coastal lands in between
will have different value
A prime example
would be the North Port development
Right now they're just building tall residential complexes
but these spaces could be developed
as a new urban model
much more beautifully
Recently, Busan has been
losing a lot of its population
to Seoul
There's a saying "The Old Man and the Sea"
From what I've learned about this process
first, young women leave due to lack of jobs
seeking employment in the capital region
Then after that
because there are no young women
the men follow to the capital region
So
only established families remain in Busan
while those who need to find partners
all move to the capital region
What makes me hopeful about Busan is
that Busan's
biggest difference is
it has the ocean
Look at Seoul, where's the most expensive area?
It's the housing along the Han River
Having a view of water spaces
becomes an opportunity for huge real estate value increase
Hong Kong is like that
Singapore too, they're all by the sea
Manhattan is the same
it's a city by the water
The reason for this is
we don't build on water, right?
Looking at water means
looking at empty space
The reason penthouses are expensive
is not just the powerful viewpoint looking down
but also
If we put escalators
on the hillside roads
it can help reduce social gaps
and adjust them horizontally
becoming a great social infrastructure
as we discussed before
and if we implement these ideas
Busan could become a great city
For most people
the seaside is just a final destination
where they look at the ocean once
and have to turn back
However, if we have
the outer road
I mean, through the coastal road
with well-connected sea bus networks
as infrastructure
or if there are decks connecting
pedestrian-friendly streets
the meeting point of water and land would have different meaning
If this becomes active
many parts of Busan's
road and traffic congestion
can be supported by that system
And when the ground transportation system
and maritime transportation system
become balanced
the coastal lands in between
will have different value
A prime example is
the North Port development
They're just building tall residential complexes there
but actually, these spaces could be developed
much more beautifully
as a new urban model
Recently, Busan has been
losing tremendous numbers
of people to Seoul
There's a saying "The Old Man and the Sea"
From what I've learned about this process
first, young women leave due to lack of jobs
seeking employment in the capital region
Then after that
because there are no young women
men follow to the capital region
So
only those who already have families stay in Busan
while those who need to find partners
all move to the capital region
What makes me hopeful about Busan is
Busan's
biggest difference is
that it has the ocean
Look at Seoul, where's the most expensive area?
It's the housing along the Han River
Having a view of water
becomes an opportunity for tremendous real estate value increase
Hong Kong is like that
Singapore too, they're all by the sea
Manhattan is the same
it's a city by the water
The reason for this is
we don't build buildings on water
Looking at water means
looking at empty space
The reason penthouses are expensive
is not just the powerful viewpoint looking down
but also
As you go higher, you can see wider, empty spaces
These vast empty spaces above the ocean
I visually own all of that space
That's why the real estate value increases
This is an incredible invisible asset
that the city of Busan possesses
What this means is
We can create different cities
And when we do that
We can create different lifestyles
When we create different lifestyles
We can prevent concentration in the capital area
If we do it properly
Just like
New York and San Francisco have different climates
So they show different lifestyles
Through that
The lifestyle that I really want to choose
I can select and go there
We need to show that level of difference
Between Seoul and Busan
They need to show new lifestyles
as different as New York and San Francisco
Currently
Even though there's an ocean
Because it just follows Seoul's trends
It keeps losing more people to Seoul
In the future, like Elon Musk talks about
With things like the Hyperloop
Getting to Busan in 19 minutes
If that happens
We'll lose even more population
When GTX-A line opens
The population in Ilsan
Will move more to Samseong-dong
That's what will happen
But to prevent that
Instead
To make Seoul people move to Busan
To make that happen
We need to present a new lifestyle
I personally have an experience
About 10 years ago
Seoul had severe cold weather
Temperature dropped to almost minus 20 degrees
At that time
I had to go to Geoje Island for a project
So I went to Busan
It was only minus 2 degrees there
With an 18-degree temperature difference
Oh, this place is really livable
I should live here during winter
Really
So someone I know
Paid monthly rent for two months
And lived in Busan
Why was that possible?
Because of the climate difference
So
Although such temperature differences won't exist in the future
Anyway
If we present a different lifestyle
I think we can actually attract
More population from the capital area
High-density development along the coast
I think that's one of them
The kind of experience you can only get
At Waikiki Beach, they made it possible there
As you go up, you can see wider, empty spaces
The vast empty spaces above the ocean
I visually own all of that space
That's why the real estate value goes up
This is an incredible invisible asset
that the city of Busan possesses
What this means is
we can create different cities
and when we do
we can create different lifestyles
When we create different lifestyles
we can prevent concentration in the capital area
If we do this properly
Just like
New York and San Francisco have different climates
showing different lifestyles
and through that
the lifestyle that I really want to choose
I can select and go there
That's the level of difference we need to show
Between Seoul and Busan
We need to show a new lifestyle
with differences like New York and San Francisco
Currently
Even though we have the ocean
Because we're following Seoul's trends
We keep losing more people to Seoul
In the future, like Elon Musk talks about
With things like the Hyperloop
Getting to Busan in 19 minutes
If that happens
We'll lose even more population
When GTX-A line opens
The population in Ilsan
Will move more to Samseong-dong
That's what will happen
But to prevent that
On the contrary
To make Seoul people move to Busan
To make that happen
We need to present a new lifestyle
I personally had an experience
About 10 years ago
Seoul had an extreme cold wave
The temperature dropped to almost minus 20 degrees
At that time
I had to go to Geoje Island for a project
So I went to Busan
It was only minus 2 degrees there
With an 18-degree temperature difference
Oh, this is really livable
I should live here during winter
Really
Someone I know
Paid monthly rent for two months
And lived in Busan
Why was that possible?
Because of the climate difference
So
Although the temperature difference won't be that big in the future
Anyway
If we present a different lifestyle
I think we can actually attract
More population from the capital area
High-density development along the coast
I think that's one of those things
The kind of experience you can only get
At Waikiki Beach, they've made that possible there
When I went to Haeundae during my college years
there was only Glory Condo
Chosun Hotel
and Korea Condo, that was about it
There was really nothing to do
Why would anyone come here?
That's what I thought
So
It was just a place with only a beach to see
But now when you go
You wear these wristbands
and can eat everywhere
and move around freely in these spaces
And
The space called Haeundae
You can now experience it from high viewpoints
Not just Marine City
But in front of it
Many marinas have also been developed
These are the changes that happened
Since these are experiences you can't have in Seoul
These experiences
I think we need
to keep trying these initiatives
How to differentiate the waterfront space
Even Han River's waterfront isn't properly developed
Because the Han River
During rainy seasons
The water level fluctuates significantly
It's difficult to create water-friendly structures
In some ways
These South Coast beaches
Can create the closest water-friendly structures
If we can properly develop this
It could become an irreplaceable city
Currently it's not
From my perspective
Of course, places like Gwangalli and Haeundae
Have roads specially placed behind
And when you come out from those roads to the beach
The cities and these decks
And other facilities are there
But if we develop this well
As I mentioned earlier
The land owned by Busan Port Authority
And the access being blocked by
These massive highway-like roads need to be reorganized
If we actively develop the waterfront space
Different from other cities
I hope they create a different lifestyle
One of Busan's advantages is
Like Jeju Island
It has warm coastal climate
While being a major city, accessible by car
This is actually
Busan's biggest advantage
We should maximize this
And create industry clusters accordingly
And as mentioned before
When we say Busan has the highest density
In other words
When investing in infrastructure
It can yield the most effective results
Why did our country become
The first in the world to lay extensive fiber optics
And establish high-speed internet networks
Not just because we had money
But because the country is small
When they laid the fiber optics
When I went to Haeundae during my college days
there was only the Glory Condo
and Chosun Hotel
and Korea Condo, that was about it
There was really nothing to do
Why would anyone come here?
That's what I thought
So
There was nothing but the beach to see
But now when you go
You wear these wristbands
and eat at various places
It's become a space where you can move around and have fun
And
The Haeundae area
You can now experience it from high viewpoints
Not just Marine City
But in front of it
Many marinas have also been developed
Those are the kinds of changes
So these are experiences you can't have
in Seoul
Such attempts
need to continue being made
How to differentiate these waterfront spaces
Even Han River's waterfront isn't properly developed
Because the Han River
during rainy seasons
The water level fluctuates significantly
It's difficult to create water-friendly structures
In some ways
The South Coast beaches
Can create the closest water-friendly structures

From my perspective

And when you come out from those roads to the beach
The cities have decks
and other such facilities
But if we develop those well
As I mentioned earlier
The land owned by Busan Port Authority
And the access being blocked by
These massive highway-like roads need to be reorganized
If we actively develop the waterfront spaces
Different from other cities
I hope they can create a unique lifestyle
One of Busan's advantages
Like Jeju Island
It has warm coastal climate
While being a major city that's accessible by car
This is actually
Busan's biggest advantage
We should maximize this
to create industrial clusters
And as mentioned before
When we say Busan has the highest density
In other words
When investing in infrastructure
It can yield the most effective results
Why did our country become
The first in the world to lay extensive fiber optics
And high-speed internet networks?
Besides having some money
It's because the country is small
When they laid the fiber optics
The number of households that can benefit from this
is highest in South Korea
So when we make initial infrastructure investments
there's a high possibility of economic returns
From this perspective
if Busan implements any smart infrastructure
it's very effective and
economically viable
So
when developing next-generation smart cities
I actually think
it should be largely applied
to cities like Busan
Because when applied, it creates market potential
When infrastructure creates market potential
new venture companies can utilize it
creating new industries
When fiber optics were installed
companies like Kakao and Naver flourished first
Similarly
since Busan's high density is an advantage
by installing new smart infrastructure there
using it as a pilot test bed
the infrastructure developed there
can be exported to major cities worldwide
It can become such a test bed city
I hope they utilize that well
They need to understand their strengths well
to differentiate themselves
Having the sea and high density
utilizing these well
I hope they develop new infrastructure
Busan Harbor Bridge
This is amazing
The turning section is really scary
I've tried it too
The bridge runs at about 20 stories high
and the interchange coming down
requires several loops to descend
it's quite incredible
It's like a roller coaster
But this is another characteristic of Busan, right?
The bridges over Han River all have
straight concrete pillars and structures
but Busan mostly has cable-stayed bridges
The reason for cable-stayed bridges is
large ships need to pass underneath
That's why it has to be that way
So they need to increase the height
They can't use pillars
Because ships pass through, they make suspension bridges
The height is higher than Han River bridges
It goes up about 20 stories
connecting to the ground becomes more difficult
When the road becomes a bridge
it needs to go up tremendously, cross, then come down
From this perspective, there are many challenges
But eventually
it becomes a great advantage
Just like tourists from around the world
go to see the Golden Gate Bridge
Because of the Gwangan Bridge
it's being used as a tourist attraction
Even at night
there's something to see at Gwangan Bridge
while Haeundae is just dark
The number of households that can benefit from this
is the highest in South Korea
So when we make initial infrastructure investments
there's a high possibility of economic return
From this perspective
if Busan implements any smart infrastructure
it's very effective and
economically viable
Therefore
when developing next-generation smart cities
I personally think
it should be implemented
in cities like Busan on a large scale
because when applied, it creates market potential
when infrastructure creates market potential
new venture companies can utilize it
and new industries are created
When fiber optics were installed
companies like Kakao and Naver flourished first
Similarly
since Busan's high density is an advantage
by installing new smart infrastructure there
using it as a pilot test bed
the infrastructure developed there
can be exported to major cities worldwide
it can become such a test bed city
I hope they utilize this well
They need to understand their strengths well
to differentiate themselves
Having the sea and high density
using these advantages well
I hope they develop new infrastructure
Busan Harbor Bridge
This is amazing
The turning section is really scary
I've tried it too
The bridge runs at about the height of a 20-story apartment
and the interchange coming down
requires several loops to descend
it's quite incredible
It's like a roller coaster
but this is another characteristic of Busan, right?
The bridges over the Han River all have
straight concrete pillars supporting them
but Busan mostly has cable-stayed bridges
The reason for cable-stayed bridges is
large ships need to pass underneath
so there's no other choice
Therefore, they need to be high
and can't use pillars
because ships pass through, they make suspension bridges
higher than Han River bridges
rising about 20 stories high
connecting to the ground becomes increasingly difficult
When the road becomes a bridge
it has to rise enormously, cross, then descend again
in that sense, there are many challenges
but eventually
it becomes a great advantage
Just like how tourists from around the world
go to see the Golden Gate Bridge
with the creation of Gwangan Bridge
it's being used as a tourist attraction
Even at night
there's something to see at Gwangan Bridge
while Haeundae is just dark
That's why Gwangalli also has
become much more vibrant and active
during nighttime
That's what I think
Yeongdo Bridge is very famous
It's a bascule bridge built during the Japanese colonial period
It opens and closes like this
It's a rare system to see in Korea
What I find unique about bascule bridges is
In architecture
In 20th century architecture
one of the biggest changes was
the elevator, I think
And another one is the automobile
What these two have in common is
they're machines
So when cities and architecture merged with machines
high-rise buildings emerged
and road networks became car-centered
creating 20th century cities
But with bridges and roads
we rarely see mechanical devices being used
The bascule bridge is where bridge meets machine
So while bridges are
typically thought of as fixed infrastructure
connecting points A and B
when it becomes a bascule bridge
it works like a semiconductor, turning on and off
connecting and disconnecting
That's what happens
It's the fusion of bridge and machine
I think it's one of the devices that best represents
the characteristics of the 20th century
What characterizes 21st century cities?
21st century features
in line with the information age
developed telecommunications
like fiber optic internet
artificial intelligence
these things
are major factors changing 21st century cities
I really like this
Using the hillside slope
using the front house's roof as the back house's yard terrace
This is widely used in places like Sejong City
The apartment we're building in Songdo also
is built like this
Though this isn't on a slope
we deliberately made it like a habitat
and then built high-rises
These attempts are really excellent
Oh, this is nice
There's even this triangular park in the middle
Really excellent
Wow
I want to applaud
Such apartments in the 1980s were truly remarkable
These days it would evolve further into
tower-type apartments
flat-type apartments
The first floor is used for parking
Either lower that one level
or currently
create another artificial ground
and use it as a park would be much better
The people in the tower
could come out and use
this linear park that would be created
And also the rooftop
could be developed and used, which would be even better
That's why Gwangalli also
becomes much more vibrant and active
during nighttime
That's what I think
Yeongdo Bridge is very famous
It's a drawbridge built during the Japanese colonial period
It goes up and down like this
It's a rare system to see in Korea
What I find unique about drawbridges is
In architecture
In 20th century architecture
one of the biggest changes was
the elevator, I think
And another one is the automobile
What these two have in common is
they're machines
So when cities and architecture merged with machines
high-rise buildings emerged
and road networks became car-centered
creating 20th century cities
But with bridges and roads
we rarely see mechanical components
The drawbridge is where bridge meets machine
So while bridges are
typically fixed infrastructure
connecting points A and B
when it becomes a drawbridge
it works like a semiconductor, turning on and off
connecting and disconnecting
doing these things
That's what a drawbridge is - bridge meets machine
It's one of the devices that best shows
the characteristics of the 20th century
What are the characteristics of 21st century cities?
The 21st century features
in line with the information age
advanced telecommunications
like fiber optic internet
and artificial intelligence
These things
are major factors changing 21st century cities
I really like this
Using the hillside slope naturally
the terrace where the front house's roof becomes the back house's yard
This is commonly used in places like Sejong City
The apartment we're building in Songdo also
is built this way
Though this isn't a slope
we deliberately made it like Habitat
and then built high-rises
These attempts are really excellent
Oh, this is nice
There's even this triangular park in the middle
Really amazing
Wow
I want to applaud
Such apartments in the 1980s were truly excellent
These days it would evolve further into
tower-type apartments
plate-type apartments
The first floor is used for parking
Either lower that one level
or currently add
another artificial ground
It would be much better if used as a park
The people in the tower
could come out and use
this linear park that would be created
And also the rooftop
could be developed and used, which would be even better
Wow, this is really amazing
People living here probably wouldn't want to move out
Since it was built a long time ago
The parking space wouldn't be sufficient by today's standards
But they say it's going to be reconstructed
This kind of building would be better with just remodeling
If they do a nice remodeling
And sell it at a premium without increasing units
Wouldn't that work?
It could work if the neighborhood is good
Oh, it's more expensive?
That makes sense
Looking at this, it seems like in Korea
People are starting to understand
The quality of spaces
Which spaces are better
Not all apartments are the same
They know that spaces can have different qualities
In the case of Nine One Hannam
Being on the first floor
Parking your car directly
Going up yourself
Units with first-floor yards are the most expensive
The duplex-style units
Although it's an apartment
Having the advantages of a house
It has both benefits
That's the kind of hybrid we need to create
Ah, this is a bit extreme
A gorge
But actually, if they had such a quarry
They could have created something much better
With that quarry's
Spectacular view they could have made
A special hotel
Then it would be
More profitable in terms of development
That's what I think
In Seoul's case
Places like Changsin-dong have quarry-cut areas
If they had built structures
To enjoy those scenic views
I think it would have been much better
On the way to Gwacheon from Seoul, there's this huge
Cliff-like cut area
In places like that
A special hotel would be really amazing
Wow, this place is really
A 24-degree slope
The kids here must have
Incredibly strong legs, right?
If public transportation on these slopes
Like the trams
In San Francisco
And in Hong Kong
The escalators
If such infrastructure is well-established
Then it could actually
Become an advantage
The view opens up in front
As you go up
You can see far into the distance
So these
Hillside road stairs
Now have slope elevators
As I mentioned during Q&A
You have to wait for elevators
So whether it's gondolas
Or escalators
Those would be much more useful
But
In Busan, still
Wow, this is absolutely amazing
People living here probably wouldn't want to move out
Since it was built a long time ago
The parking space wouldn't be sufficient by today's standards
But they say it's going to be reconstructed
This kind of building would be better with just remodeling
If they do a nice remodeling
And sell it at a higher price without increasing units
Wouldn't that work?
It could work if the neighborhood is good
Oh, it's more expensive?
That makes sense

That's the kind of hybrid we need to create
Ah, this is a bit extreme
A gorge
But actually, with a quarry of this scale
They could have created something much better
With that quarry's
Truly spectacular view
They could build a special hotel
If they had done that
They could have made more profit
That's what I think
In Seoul's case
Places like Changsin-dong have quarry-cut areas
If they had built structures
To enjoy those scenic views
I think it would have been much better
On the way to Gwacheon from Seoul, there's this huge
Cliff-like cut section
In places like that
A special hotel would look amazing
Wow, this place
Has a 24-degree slope
The kids here must have
Incredibly strong legs, right?
If public transportation on these slopes
Like the trolley cars
In San Francisco
In Hong Kong
The escalators
If this infrastructure is well-developed
It could actually
Become an advantage

You can see far into the distance
So these
Hillside road stairs
Now have slope elevators
As I mentioned during Q&A
You have to wait for elevators
So gondolas or
Escalators would be
Much more useful
But
In Busan, still
like Hong Kong or San Francisco
such infrastructure is not yet in place
making it difficult to utilize the characteristics
and advantages of the slopes
I think it would be better if more investment was made
in that direction
Gamcheon Village
Oh, that place is really
like Santorini but painted more colorfully
that's how you can see it
But the difference is
in Santorini
people would often use the roofs
as yards or terraces for the houses behind them
But here
since Korea gets a lot of rainfall
Gamcheon Village isn't
built strongly with reinforced concrete
and the climate is different from Greece
Greece doesn't have heavy downpours
So
it's easier to use flat roofs there
but here all the roofs are covered like this
many have sloped roofs
Therefore
it's unfortunate that we can't properly use
that space
But
I think it can be technically solved now
If we solve that well
and make remodeling easier bit by bit
it could become a special space
but the biggest reason it's not possible
is probably due to fire regulations
Fire trucks can't access the area
and for various urban planning reasons
if it doesn't face a 4m wide road
construction permits aren't issued
These are the issues
I'm not sure about the current situation
but by designating it as a special district
and providing some exemptions
from various regulations
then more capital would flow in
and interesting spaces could be created
that's what I think
When I say this
some might say it would lead to
gentrification and displacement
There are different perspectives on this
It's really difficult
It's a dilemma
Our urban issues
aren't simple problems
Busan
I think of it as Korea's first metropolis
and I hope
people take pride in that
If it develops as a major city
I believe it can become
a unique new city
very different from Seoul
And
neighboring Japan
could be well utilized
to create a city
with its own distinct character
That's what I think
So
I think it's a city with limitless potential
It's truly a city I love
I hope Busan continues to prosper even more
It might have sounded like I spoke without passion
but I really love Busan
Of course, it's the most convenient for transportation
and also
I think it's the city I visit most often
Because Busan is truly a city I love
I really hope it succeeds
and becomes a world-class city
like Hong Kong or San Francisco
don't have such infrastructure in place yet
making it difficult to utilize the characteristics and advantages of slopes
That's the situation we're in
I think it would be great if there was more investment in that direction
That's what I think
Gamcheon Village
Oh, that place is really
like Santorini but painted more colorfully
That's how you can think of it
But the difference is
in Santorini
people living in the houses above often use
the roofs as yards or terraces
But here
since Korea gets a lot of rainfall
Gamcheon Village isn't
built strongly with reinforced concrete
and the climate is different from Greece
Greece doesn't have heavy downpours
So
it's easier to use flat roofs there
but here all the roofs are covered like this
Many have sloped roofs
So
it's unfortunate that we can't properly use
those spaces
But that
can be solved technically now
If we solve that well
and make remodeling easier bit by bit
it could become a special space
but the biggest reason it's not possible
is because of fire safety regulations
Fire trucks can't access the area
and for various urban planning reasons
if it doesn't face a 4m wide road
no new construction permits
These are the issues
I'm not sure about the current situation
but by designating it as a special district
and providing some exemptions
from various regulations
Then with more capital investment
interesting spaces could be created
That's what I think
When I say this
some might argue about gentrification
asking if I'm suggesting displacing residents
There are such perspectives too
It's really difficult
It's a dilemma
Our urban issues
aren't simple problems
Busan
I think of it as Korea's first metropolis
so
I hope people take pride in that
If it develops as a major city
I think it could become
a unique new city
very different from Seoul
And
nearby Japan
could be well utilized too
to create a city
with its own character
That's what I think
So
I think it's a city with unlimited potential for development
A city I truly love
I hope Busan continues to prosper even more
Though it might have sounded insincere
I really do love Busan
Of course, transportation is convenient
and also
it's the city I visit most frequently
Because Busan is a city I truly love
I really hope it develops
into a world-class city
