Why This Mall Beat the Odds: The Power of Open Space and Walkability | Hyundai Seoul Case Study

In this video, I dive into one of the most surprising mall success stories: The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido. Against all odds—low weekend foot traffic, strong competitors, and a risky location—this mall became South Korea’s top earner, not because of more shops, but because of more space. 💡 Discover how open areas, nature, and smart walkability turned a gamble into a game-changer. I also reflect on my own experience walking across New York City, where unplanned moments made the journey unforgettable—just like what the best-designed malls now aim to replicate. If you’re in urban design, development, or just love meaningful public spaces, this is for you.
