Seoul, South Korea

Seoul, Korean* (“Special City of Seoul”), city and capital of*South Korea*(the Republic of Korea). It is located on the*Han River*(Han-gang) in the northwestern part of the country, with the city centre some 37 miles (60 km) inland from the*Yellow Sea*(west). Seoul is the cultural, economic, and political center of South Korea.

City site

The area on the Han River that is now occupied by Seoul has been inhabited by humans for thousands of years, and it acquired strategic importance to the various kingdoms that controlled the Korean peninsula and grew to become a city during the early historic period. Seoul was founded as the capital of a unified nation in 1394 by Gen.*

City layout

Street patterns in the city centre north of the river are basically on a rectangular grid. Streets and buildings stretch out from the sites of the old city wall’s four major gates: Bukdaemun (“Great North Gate”), located near the top of Mount Pugak (Bugak) in the northern part of the city; Tongdaemun (“Great East Gate”);*Namdaemun*(“Great South Gate”), a designated national treasure whose wooden superstructure was destroyed by fire in 2008 (the rebuilt gate was reopened in 2013); and Sŏdaemun (“Great West Gate)

Housing

A shortage of housing has been a chronic problem. Many large-scale apartment blocks have been built, especially along the banks of the Han. In addition, much residential housing has been developed along the suburban fringes of the city. Old-style wooden houses, or*hanok, are still found in a few areas of the old city and*adjacent*to the remains of the city wall.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing is one of the top employers in the city. The information technology and*electronics*industries have been replacing such traditional mainstays as the manufacture of textiles and clothes, machinery, and chemicals. Food processing, beverage production, and publishing and printing are also important.
