Exporting Urban Korea?: Reconsidering the Korean Urban Development Experience

The "Korean development model" is examined in this book from an urban perspective, analyzing its sociopolitical contexts and implications for international development cooperation. It discusses how Korea's condensed urbanization and industrialization, accompanied by the expansion of new cities and industrial complexes, have become a model for other countries in the Global South. The book critically reassesses the Korean urban development experience from regional policy to new town development and discusses what can be learned from it in other developmental contexts. It is of great interest to scholars and researchers in urban studies and developmental studies.

The Korean development model, a highly urbanized and industrialized approach to development, has garnered significant attention as a reference point for countries in the Global South. With its rapid urbanization and industrialization, accompanied by the expansion of new cities and industrial complexes, Korea has emerged as a model to emulate. However, it is important to note that the benefits of this development may not have been evenly distributed across different geographies and generations.

In this book, we critically examine the Korean urban development experience from regional policy to new town development. We explore how these policy experiences were deeply rooted in Korea's socioeconomic environment and discuss the lessons that can be drawn from them when applied in other developmental contexts.

The book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of urban studies and developmental studies, particularly in the context of Korea's urban development experience. Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 12 of the book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

We hope that this book will contribute to the ongoing discussion on urban development and international development cooperation.
