Officials were hoping that a reconnection of the east coast rail line would give the province an economic shot in the arm.<\/p>\n<p>On the west side of the peninsula, officials have also been eyeing inter-Korean integration and the economic benefits that it could bring. According to a newspaper story passed along by Tom Murcott of Gale International, the developer of the Songdo \u201csmart city,\u201d back in 2008 \u00a0local officials pushed for a traffic network expansion plan that\u00a0would connect Incheon International Airport to Gangwha and Gaeseong Industrial Park as part of the Gangwha development plan. That integration would seem to make sense, especially if the October 2007 North-South summit vision of redeveloping Haeju ever came to pass.<\/p>\n<p>With President Park\u2019s renewed emphasis on unification, Incheon officials are dusting off the old plans. According to the report in the Incheon-based Kiho Ilbo, Incheon City has announced it will push ahead with the construction of an expressway from Yeongjong to Haeju of North Korea, the so-called \u201cWest Sea Unification Expressway.\u201d Incheon City estimates KRW2.7 trillion of project costs will have to be spent on the 112km-long expressway.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably the city doesn\u2019t have that kind of cash laying around, and one would think that the national government might have something to say about opening up direct transportation links with the North, so don\u2019t hold your breath.\u00a0 Nevertheless, it\u2019s a reminder that local officials have their own eyes fixed on North-South possibilities, and if North-South relations calm, Incheon and Songdo would be ideally placed to become the hub of North-South exchange.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a longtime supporter of the Songdo project, we always have seen the Songdo
