Urban Transport Governance and Inclusive Development in Korea
This report analyses the relationship between urban transport and inclusive development
in Korea. First, it looks at how Korea is shifting from car-centered transport towards
people-centered mobility. It discusses opportunities and challenges posed by current
urban transport arrangements in Korea, and proposes options for improving urban transport
governance. Second, the report uses advanced data analysis and space syntax methods
to examine how accessibility to public transport shapes inclusiveness in Korean metropolitan
areas. Third, it analyses public transport in four selected Korean cities (Seoul,
Suwon, Changwon and Sejong), which offer interesting insights into how public transport
policies can be tailored to local socio-economic profiles and urban landscapes.
