The UN Peace Park masterplan has been initiated to increase the number of tourist in the city of Chungju, the birthplace of Ban Ki-moon, the current UN Secretary General. The new UN memorial building will be the focal point in the UN Peace Park, comprising a 1,500 seating UN assembly hall, 2 conference halls, theatre and exhibition space. The UN Memorial should be a very prominent building within the UN peace park, creating a local landmark but also a building of national and international significance.
