Abstract
The construction of the sea wall in Saemangeum is an achievement that is made by a strong civilisation. The high ambition of the sea wall sets a clear and strong standard for building a civilized city. Every proposal for a public space in Saemangeum, from the design of a lake bus jetty to a public garden on the sea wall, to the design of the harbour city must measure itself against the ambition and achievement in civility of the sea wall. The degree of civility in Saemangeum is directly proportional to the quality of the public realm of Saemangeum.
