Includes bibliographical references.

This Urban Policy Review of Korea assesses Korea's approach to sustainable urban development as expressed in its recent urban policy reform and national green growth agenda. The government has responded to the economic, environmental and social challenges that have resulted from Korea's rapid urbanization process with, on the one hand, urban policy reform based on qualitative urban management and urban competitiveness and, on the other hand, the adoption of a National Strategy for Green Growth that emphasizes the role of cities in achieving stronger environmental and economic outcome.
