01 · HISTORY

How this neighborhood remembers change

1960s–80s

Tools and parts support an industrial city

Small suppliers and repair businesses gathered near rail and downtown manufacturing networks.

2010s

New businesses enter older workshops

Independent cafés and shops reused compact industrial buildings while older trades remained next door.

Today

Industry, consumption, and public space overlap

Tool Street, the café lanes, and Busan Citizens Park show three different forms of urban reuse.
