Seoul has declared war on visual clutter. The city will undergo a facelift to banish disjointed signage and spiff up public facilities.
Under 10 new design guidelines, Seoul aims to make signs more uniform and easy to read and ensure that public facilities are color-coordinated and thus pleasing to the eye.
Subway canopies and rain shelters that break up the flow of city views are to be avoided as much as possible while aluminum walls and concrete embankments will be remade using more environmentally friendly materials.
Seoul has already set design guidelines on outdoor advertising last March and on public architecture earlier this month.
