Reclaiming the City in Korea

About Reclaiming the City in Korea

Who owns the city? Who produces the city? Who has the right to the city today? How do we practice the city? These questions frame the podcast mini-series from the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies. Thinking about various modes of spatial practices, this series will probe the contemporary conditions of the city in a country that has undergone exponential growth and is in constant metamorphosis. This series will also act as an introduction to our Perspectives on Contemporary Korea Conference taking place November 12-13, 2021 and features some of our conference presenters.
