Description

This Routledge book examines the cultural politics shaping urban development in Gwangju, South Korea, exploring how state-led arts-based urban boosterism intersects with political trauma and economic ambitions. The analysis reveals the complex tensions between cities functioning as growth machines and their aspirations to become progressive metropolises. Using actor-oriented qualitative research methods, the author demonstrates how cultural initiatives and economic strategies emerge from territorial conflicts and historical struggles. The work addresses Gwangju's unique position as a city marked by democratic uprising, investigating how artistic and cultural interventions have been deployed to reshape urban identity and drive development. This scholarly work offers critical insights into the relationship between memory, politics, and urban transformation in contemporary South Korea, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of how cities navigate modernisation whilst reckoning with political legacies.
