I have lived in many cities so far, and among them, I marked on the map the urban structure of Ulsan, where I spent the most time as a child.
Ulsan is a city formed around the Taehwa River.
Before the 1960s, villages and urban areas were formed only north of the Taehwa River, but as Ulsan was designated as a key heavy and chemical industrial city in President Park Chung-hee's economic development plan, industrialization progressed rapidly and the population rapidly increased, leading to the expansion of residential areas and urban areas to the south of the Taehwa River, which was an empty plain. has been enlarged
Taehwa River, the lifeline of Ulsan.
The Taehwa River, which runs through the very center of Ulsan, is not a very large river, but it is very beautiful and, like the Han River, the high water area has been turned into a park.
It is a river that deserves to be called the Little Han River.
Ulsan's old town - Seongnam-dong, Okgyo-dong (original downtown), Hakseong, and Byeongyeong area
Along with Daejeon, Ulsan is considered a representative no-fun city, but I honestly disagree.
It is true that road-oriented planned cities such as Daejeon and Changwon are rigid and uninteresting, but Ulsan's old town, with its two-lane narrow roads and cute alleys, is truly dynamic.
Hakseong Park, Hakseong-dong, and barracks
This is the oldest old town in Ulsan. It originated from the belief that many cranes lived in this town in the past.

Bangeojin - This area, which used to be a fishing village, is called Hyundai Town as it is where Hyundai Motor Company and Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyards are located. There are also beaches and many places steeped in Ulsan's history, such as Daewangam Hermitage and Ulgi Lighthouse.

Largest residential area - Sinjeong-dong, Ok-dong area
Due to rapid population growth, it expanded to the south of the Taehwa River and was developed as a residential area.
It is the largest school district in Ulsan with the highest concentration of single-family homes and apartments and the highest concentration of elementary, middle, and high schools.
Ulsan's landmark, the Industrial Tower, is also located right here.

This area has been developed since the late 80s and now forms Ulsan's largest commercial district.
