The South Korean capital has entrusted the architects of the UNStudio agency to design the "10-minute city". This business and residential district is set to include cultural, leisure and work facilities, as well as green spaces, all within 10 minutes from home.

UNStudio recently unveiled "Project H1", its plan for a so-called 10-minute city in northeast Seoul. This is a neighbourhood that's envisaged as both green and smart.

In line with the 15-minute city concept, it features all the amenities useful for daily life – home, work, entertainment, shopping – all within reach in just 10 minutes.
