The optimum size of Seoul's districts in South Korea
TLDR
The optimal size of a city is marginal size when the city has inefficiencies in urban administration or the point that when a city loses attraction from citizens in South Korea.Abstract:
The optimum size of a city is marginal size when the city has inefficiencies in urban administration or the point that when a city loses attraction from citizens. This paper is examining optimal size of Seoul Autonomous Districts in South Korea. Because of the highly dense population in Seoul area, the government of South Korea is trying to solve this problem by implementing policies on developing non Seoul areas. However, it is important why Seoul in South Korea has abnormal dense population in comparison to other areas. Seoul is consisted of 25 autonomous districts and this paper found one autonomous district. Gangnam-gu is a highly inefficient district comparing to other districts in Seoul. This finding can be a cause of dense population problem in Seoul. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.read more

Welfare Costs of the Suboptimal Size Distribution of Cities
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculated the welfare costs of the suboptimal size distribution of cities using the hierarchy model, in which the productivity of cities is explicitly considered, and found that the size of the prime city is at least 2.8 and 9.4% larger than the optimal size for the United States and Korea, respectively.
