The Making of a Smart City in Korea
The Quest for E-Seoul
The Making of a Smart City in Korea
The Quest for E-Seoul
Description
This book illustrates how Seoul's transition into a digitally networked city has reshaped governance structures, economic systems, and cultural life.
Central to this transformation is the proactive role of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, which has guided the city through multiple stages of smart urbanization with strategic planning and policy innovation.
Organized into three parts, the contributors first examine the government's leadership in building a smart city framework, then turn to placemaking efforts - such as network governance, art, and tourism - that define Seoul's digital identity, and finally present case studies on e commerce, urban planning, and sustainability.
Taken together, the book not only documents Seoul's evolution but also serves as a practical and analytical guide for cities and scholars alike, demonstrating how intentional digital transformation can redefine urban life-and why those choices matter for the future of global cities.
