Abstract
Seoul has been the capital of the Korean Peninsula for more than 600 years since it was built as a planned city of Joseon Dynasty in 1394. However, Seoul experienced the rapid and large-scale urban transformation for recent 60 years. This lecture investigates how Seoul has been created and evolved into a metropolis of 10 million population, retrospectively criticizing Seoul’s urban development under the social-ecological resilience theory. For this, the lecture identifies the mechanism of urban development, and discusses the resulting accomplishments and consequences in terms of a variety of spatio-temporal scales.
