This is a book of urban sociology that examines the growth and regeneration of cities and the urban culture from the perspective of urban politics. The book was compiled and published by the authors who’d studied under the late professor Yoon Ilseong based on the contents Prof. Yoon had created with a plan to write a book titled City is the Politics while he was alive. The book also includes Prof. Yoon’s papers (including unpublished ones) that he’d written while being a professor of sociology at Pusan National University and tried to put a stop on reckless urban development activities.
