Since the 1980s, it is contended, the world we live in has undergone the process of structural restructuring. Global restructuring is so influential that no context of societies remains unaffected.

Some of multifaceted changes provide opportunities for the progress of Korean society, while others raise challenges to planning problems.

This is followed by the evaluation of internal and external strains-which are caused by restructuring-exerted on the domain of urban policy. Based on the pressures defined, provided are various policy problems that the profession of brban policy should encounter. Discussions are also focused on innovative policy ideas which are necessarily required to alleviate the contradicts put forward by the restructuring process of cities.

It is based on the firm belief that proper understanding of structural transformation is a prerequistite for finding ways for any city or region to survive the increasingly competitive world.
