What happened
Cities in South Korea require multi-billion dollar infrastructure upgrades. In Seoul, roughly 86% of the city is serviced by a combined sewer system that gathers both stormwater runoff and sanitary sewage. This system's legacy from rapid post-war industrialization has led to issues, such as intermittent sewage odors in the streets of Seoul.
