Sustainable Development and Local Government in South Korea

The Politics of Eco-city Transition

Youngah Guahk,

About this book

This book addresses one of the key issues of our time, the process of sustainable transition in modern, industrial societies, by looking at the dynamics associated with this objective at the decentralised local level in South Korea.

The creation of eco-cities is a crucial aspect in the ongoing urbanisation of East Asia, and this book investigates specific examples of Korean local governments embarking on the path towards sustainable urban development and assesses their achievements. Making use of a wide range of sources and data collection methods, the book studies two diverse cases in great depth: Suwon City and Jeju Province. By systematically comparing the aims, strategies and decision-making processes in these two examples, the book illuminates the relative roles played by local leaders, central government, civil society representatives, and even international organisations.

Highlighting the challenges, driving forces and limitations impacting sustainable transition at the local level, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Korean politics, decentralisation, urban governance, sustainable development and city planning.
