The existing condition, characterized by heavy traffic and disconnected building-road-pavement relationships, has been opened up to a transitional mixed-use by creating intermediate zones as shown in the principle sections. Through installation areas, scenery viewing steps, and green spaces, the aim is to encourage users to slow down and spend time in this historically significant and functionally diverse area.

Throughout the 92,400 m2 project area, the existing layout of this boulevard that connects historical buildings and routes lacks cohesive and pedestrian-prioritized character, and this has been re-evaluated in the landscape design. The aim is to slow down pedestrian circulation in desired places and to offer small recreation areas for tourists and daily users through various buffer zones.
