Abstract

This chapter argues that two variables should be considered in deciding the location of an industrial hub: 1) whether the industries in the hub require heavy infrastructure; and 2) whether workers and their families need a full urban environment. The second is as important as the first because a hub without a living environment that fits the needs of the workers and their families will have trouble attracting and retaining workers. Focusing on these two variables, we propose a two-by-two matrix with four ideal types of industrial hubs. They are: 1) industrial annex of metropolis; 2) industrial town; 3) metropolitan-immersed industrial hub; and 4) new industrial city. For each of these types, a South Korean example is provided.
