Despite the precipitous rise of East Asia as a center of
architectural production since the Second World War, informed
studies remain lacking. The lacuna is particularly conspicuous in
terms of regional, cross-national studies, documenting the close
ties and parallels between China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea during
this period. Examining colonized cities in East Asia, this book
brings together a range of different perspectives across both space
and time. European, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Japanese
discourses are examined, with a range of complementary and
conflicting views on the design of urban and architectural forms;
the political, institutional, religious and economical contexts of
urban planning; the role played by various media; and the influence
of various geographical, social and anthropological research
methods. The diversity and plurality of these perspectives in this
book provides an entwined architectural, urban and social history
of East Asia, which offers insights into the cultural systems and
the historical and spatial meanings of these colonized cities. It
concludes that the difficulties in the historical study of East
Asia's colonial cities do not so much indicate cultural difference
as the potentiality for multiple readings of the past toward the
future.
