This book explores the role of culture in the urban transformation of Asian cities. Departing from the strictly economic treatment of urbanization that has tended to dominate urban geography, Culture and the City in East Asia demonstrates how the pervasive influence of culture has effected Asian urbanization, using both comparative analysis and individual studies of major cities of the region: Seoul, Beijing, Tokyo, Hanoi, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
