책 소개

This book explores urban change through the intertwined processes of growth and shrinkage. It challenges the familiar idea that cities move in a single direction, towards progress or decline. Instead, it shows how growth and shrinkage often emerge together, shaped by the same policies, investments, and planning choices. Seoul serves as the central case. Known globally for its intensity and transformation, the city also contains shrinking neighbourhoods, fragmented urban fabrics, and communities living with persistent uncertainty. Based on literature reviews, on-site fieldwork, interviews, spatial analysis, and design research developed through an international urban design workshop, the book examines three areas: Yongsan, Dapsimni, and Seongsu. These sites reveal how development and neglect coexist and how their effects are unevenly distributed across space and time. Regeneration is not treated as a guaranteed improvement. It is approached as a process whose consequences depend on pace, arrangement, and responsibility. Rather than asking whether cities should grow or shrink, the book fundamentally approaches how change is organised, who benefits from it, and who must adapt. Growth and shrinkage are understood as connected realities of contemporary urban life. This book invites readers to rethink urban planning, urban design, and architecture not as tools for managing outcomes, but as practices responsible for shaping the conditions of everyday urban experience.
