The book compares different approaches to urban development in
Singapore and Seoul over the past decades, by focusing on community
participation in the transformation of neighbourhoods and its
impact on the built environment and communal life. Singapore and
Seoul are known for their rapid economic growth and urbanisation
under a strong control of developmental state in the past. However,
these cities are at a critical crossroads of societal
transformation, where participatory and community-based urban
development is gaining importance. This new approach can be seen as
a result of a changing relationship between the state and civil
society, where an emerging partnership between both aims to
overcome the limitations of earlier urban development. The book
draws attention to the possibilities and challenges that these
cities face while moving towards a more inclusive and socially
sustainable post-developmental urbanisation. By applying a
comparative perspective to understand the evolving urban paradigms
in Singapore and Seoul, this unique and timely book offers insights
for scholars, professionals and students interested in contemporary
Asian urbanisation and its future trajectories.
