  "summary": "Seoul and Basel have taken steps to deepen their architectural ties through an international exchange program, bringing together emerging architects from both cities to share ideas on urban planning and city identity. Seoul's Deputy Mayor for Administrative Affairs, Kim Seong-bo, met with Conradin Cramer, head of the government of Basel-Stadt, on November 3 to discuss cooperation in urban planning and architecture. This meeting followed an agreement signed last year on exchanges in urban architecture, with both sides reviewing their 2026 architect exchange program and exploring potential cooperation for the sixth Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism in 2027. Kim attended a public forum in Basel, where he welcomed architects from both cities who presented their work and discussed shared urban challenges.",
