It goes withouth saying that a development of 607 hectares cannot be called a project site, but should be addressed as a city. Gale International took on the outstanding project under its wing and is creating the Songdo City in South Korea. The project's cost rounds up to $30 billion not including $10 billion in infrastructure improvements by the South Korean government. The masterplan of the green city, everyting will be LEED certified, is designed by KPF with the collaboration of other prominent architects that will be designing specific buildings. The first 300 buildings will be open next year, while 300,000 people are expected to work there by 2014 upon the completion of the project. Take the tour and see that you can find a stunning Park Avenue, elsewhere in the world...

Sounds Impressive!
But wont it look old in 50 years? Imagine a whole city looking like an old 70's building...
well.. buildings from the 60's and 70's are in fact the most timeless pieces of architecture... these were the true modernist designs...
Sure, I mostly have athens in the picture that's why!
