Like already promised here now the photo report about 청진동
청진동 6지구 is an area – located between Jong-no and Jongno-gu (district) office - where people are renting small houses for to life and to carry on small businesses, such as cafe shops, offices for several services and small restaurants.
Here the Le Meilleur Construction Co. wants to tear down all the buildings located there, to build a huge skyscraper (by the way, on the first picture the small building on the left edge is supposed to represent the Kyobo B/D, already very huge, but here... Possibly construction mafia's megalomaniac dream?!) .
The construction mafia already started to tear down a lot of building there and many people lost their homes and income.
Since several month activists who are living and working in the area now are struggling to save their basis of existence. Since August every day they are protesting in front of Jongno-gu office.
But they have no supporters. The people in the area who will be affected by the mass destruction still they can’t really believe what’s going on in their neighborhood. But if the activists will stay also in the future alone we will lose sooner or later whole downtown Seoul.
In the Cheonggyecheon area they already signed many buildings, which will be torn down soon.
As you can see on construction mafia’s own plans if it goes after their agenda of megalomania on the end between Kyobo B/D and Jongmyo Park all the old houses will be disappeared in the near future.
After 청진 6동, this will be the next areas torn down!
If we cannot stop them, central Seoul will look like that:
And the city will be only open for rich people!
To be continued
Following just some impressions from present 청진동 6지구
Not really highlights of architecture, but work places for many people.
LET’S FIGHT TOGETHER FOR A WORLD
WITHOUT EXPLOITATION AND OPPRESSION!
ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE, ONLY
IF YOU WANT AND FIGHT FOR IT!
