MARITORY BIOCRACY VI Cheongsan-do Slow City

Island off the south coast of the Republic of Korea, Cheongsan-do presents genuine characteristics of serene ecological transition by having adopted the Italian mode of Slow City. Renowned for the aesthetics of its land-based agriculture, it also benefits from an seascape where aquaculture respects its environment thrives.

However, the protection of its environment which allows it to avoid the absurd Korean urbanization and the mass tourism that Jeju Island endures is not accompanied by an adapted political ecology to sustain its entire biosphere. The result is a remote and aging social ecology dynamics that cannot alone support its regeneration.

We will therefore study and envision ways to pursue such just policy to prevent from ruining the fragile balance of an eco-societal biotope still untouched by current environmental speculation.
