Notes from Sejong City

The brand new city of Sejong in South Korea has so far received little academic attention internationally. This is surprising, given the scale of the undertaking; when complete, it will accommodate up to half a million residents, with the national government footing the bill. In a new thought piece published on our website, Rob Cowley, one of the doctoral researchers at the University of Westminster, reflects on a recent fieldwork trip to Sejong. He discusses the nature of the lessons that might be learnt from new-build eco-cities of this type, given that their emergence depends on very context-specific favourable conditions, and suggests that it may be unhelpful when plans to build whole new cities are dismissed as problematically utopian.
