19. Evidence
20. Supports the description of Songdo's reclaimed 53-square-kilometre site, construction from 2003 under the Gale International and POSCO joint venture, residential population of roughly 210,000 for Songdo International City by late 2024, employment in the International Business District in the low tens of thousands against target, and the weak international-tenant outcome. V55 verification basis: retrieved from assessment summaries and abstracts; none of the papers was opened, and the boundary each figure refers to is not consistently stated in the retrieved material, which is why ranges are used.
