01 · HISTORY

How this neighborhood remembers change

Before reclamation

Tidal flats shape the coast

Fishing, saltwater ecology, and broad intertidal landscapes defined the shoreline before large-scale construction.

2000s

An international business district rises

Reclamation and planned infrastructure created high-density business, housing, convention, and park districts.

Today

A new city begins to archive itself

The Urban History Museum and public spaces place the planned city within Incheon's much longer coastal transformation.

02 · NEIGHBORHOOD VOICES

A neighborhood is also remembered by its people
