Description

Explore the complex relationship between culture and urban growth in South Korea with this academic study from Routledge. The book examines the cultural politics of urban development specifically within Gwangju, providing a deep look at how state-led arts-based boosterism efforts function alongside a desire for economic growth. This research addresses how the recent history of democratic uprising in Gwangju affects modern urban planning. By looking at the tension between cities acting as growth machines versus progressive metropolises, the text provides a clear perspective on how political trauma shapes a city's physical and social landscape. Using actor-oriented qualitative research methods, the work demonstrates how local economies and culture emerge from territorial conflicts. This is an essential resource for those studying South Korean geography, urban sociology, or the impact of politics on city development.
