Cutting across diverse disciplines, such as economics, sociology,
public administration, public policy, urban design and planning,
urban engineering, civil and environmental engineering, and tourism
research, The Making of a Smart City in Korea: The Quest for
E-Seoul provides empirical evidence on 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
shifting a traditional city into a digital one has brought about
noticeable changes in the governance, economics, arts, and cultures
of Seoul. This edited volume on the Seoul Metropolitan
Government’s quest for e-Seoul provides great resources for many
cities worldwide to seek to benchmark this particular type of smart
city, as well as for all those academics in the related fields to
learn it theoretically and empirically, given that Seoul has
systematically pushed different stages and strategies of the smart
urbanization.

This book examines the historical development of Korean food TV and
its articulation of Koreanness in the era of globalization.
Jaehyeon Jeong defines the evolution of Korean food TV as an
outcome of the conjuncture between the television industry's
structural changes, the shift in food's landscape and cultural
legitimacy, and various sociocultural, political, and economic
transformations. In addition, Jeong reveals how the state
appropriates the banality of food to raise South Korea's global
image and how it utilizes domestic television to disseminate
statist discourse of the nation. Understanding discourses of
national cuisine as reflective of and formative of discourses of
the nation, he argues that the growth of discourses of national
cuisine is symptomatic of the struggle for nationness in a
globalized world.
