Beschreibung

This is the first book to examine the impact of globalization on Seoul's urban environment. Following the introduction, the book is in two parts with examples of Seoul's different urban forms and cultures throughout. Part One explores how Korean culture and traditions have been rediscovered in an effort to change Seoul's image from that of an industrial to a post-industrial city based on global tourism. Part Two looks at how the recent political focus on building a 'multicultural society' and the changes in labour and immigration policies have shaped the city's urban environments.
