In this paper, the authors develop indicators of the progress and problems of development in one of the most rapidly modernizing Asian metropolises (Seoul) and suggest policies for minimizing the most serious problems of economic imbalance.Abstract:
Present western methods of planning and analysis are too cumbersome to cope with the accelerated development underway in many great cities of Asia.
