Description
The Making of a Smart City in Korea: The Quest for E-Seoul displays how the notion of the smart city has been interpreted and applied in Seoul—the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea. The contributors show how a shift into a digital city has brought about noticeable changes in the governance, economics, and cultures of Seoul.
This edited volume on the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s quest for e-Seoul provides great resources for many cities worldwide seeking to benchmark this particular type of smart city, as well as for all those academics in the fields to learn it, given that Seoul has systematically pushed different stages and strategies of the smart urbanization.

About the contributors
Reviews
-
Seoul is an ideal city to study the contemporary drivers of smart urbanization and the datafication of society. The contributors to this richly detailed volume provide multiple new insights on the dynamics of ICT-driven urbanization and how it will change the ways that we govern and understand cities in the coming decades.
Andrew Karvonen, Lund University

This edited volume provides empirical evidence on how the notion of the smart city has been interpreted and applied in Seoul. It focuses on data management and urban planning seeing the smart city as an engine for new urban growth thus trying to make sense of the impressive, yet multifaced effort of Seoul in leading the world's most technologically led, oriented, and implanted cities. In order to achieve this goal ,the book cuts across diverse disciplines, such as economics, sociology, public administration, public policy, urban design and planning, urban engineering, civil and environmental engineering, and tourism research.
