Culture and the City in East Asia

by Won B. Kim (Editor), Won Bae Kim (Editor), Sang-Chuel Choe (Editor)

This book explores the role of culture in the urban transformation of Asian cities. Departing from the strictly economic treatment of urbanization that dominates urban geography, Kim draws on both comparative analysis and individual studies of major cities in the region to demonstrate the pervasive influence of culture on Asian urbanization.
