3. Oh Se-hoon, who visited the green area in Tokyo, said, "This is the green ecological city…"The Great Reformation of Seoul"

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on the 26th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who is visiting Japan, toured green areas around Tokyo for three days from the 24th. The intention is to learn about the advanced overseas cases as he recently announced his "Garden City Seoul" plan to create six large-scale regional parks and 2,000 village gardens in Seoul by 2026 and create a 2,000-kilometer green road.

Mayor Oh inspected Marunouchi district, a high-density redevelopment area in the Tokyo metropolitan area on Saturday morning. The district is one of the most popular places in Tokyo, located between Tokyo Station and Hwanggeo (the residence of the emperor). It is a representative place that has been developed by the private sector but has sufficiently green space, and instead of allowing the building to be built high, the main focus is to reduce the building area (construction and construction ratio) and make the lower stories a space that blends with green space.

Mayor Oh looked around the 100-meter-long and 30-meter-wide forest "Otemachi Forest" near Tokyo Station on the 25th and said, "I feel as if I have entered the jungle in front of an ultra-high-rise building." Referring to the "Seoul Grand Reformation," he stressed that he will create a green space that can be used by all citizens instead of giving incentives such as floor area ratio and height when redeveloping downtown Seoul in the future.
