Reviews

Seoul is an ideal city to study the contemporary drivers of smart urbanization and the datafication of society. The contributors to this richly detailed volume provide multiple new insights on the dynamics of ICT-driven urbanization and how it will change the ways that we govern and understand cities in the coming decades. --Andrew Karvonen, Lund University


This edited volume provides empirical evidence on how the notion of the smart city has been interpreted and applied in Seoul. It focuses on data management and urban planning seeing the smart city as an engine for new urban growth thus trying to make sense of the impressive, yet multifaced effort of Seoul in leading the world's most technologically led, oriented, and implanted cities. In order to achieve this goal, the book cuts across diverse disciplines, such as economics, sociology, public administration, public policy, urban design and planning, urban engineering, civil and environmental engineering, and tourism research. --Paolo Cardullo, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya Seoul is an ideal city to study the contemporary drivers of smart urbanization and the datafication of society. The contributors to this richly detailed volume provide multiple new insights on the dynamics of ICT-driven urbanization and how it will change the ways that we govern and understand cities in the coming decades. --Andrew Karvonen, Lund University
