The Nature of Urbanization in South Korea
Chapter
Abstract
The pace of urbanization varies throughout the world. Developed countries experienced rapid urban growth during and after the Industrial Revolution, while developing countries are currently in the throes of a great urban transformation (Gugler, 1988:1). During the last three decades, urbanization in Korea as an outcome of economic modernization, significantly affected Korean society. Successful macro-economic performance accelerated urbanization and gave the country a highly urbanized population.
