Not long ago I sat down with reporter Jason Strother at a tea house in Ikseon-dong, a hanok village in downtown Seoul, for a conversation about the neighborhood’s development, revival, and future. He used it for a segment on Monocle\u00a0<\/i>magazine’s podcast\u00a0The Urbanist<\/em><\/a>\u00a0which they describe as follows: “This week we head to Seoul to visit a neighbourhood that\u2019s beaten the odds. Ikseon-dong was the country\u2019s first real-estate development project back in the early 1930s \u2013 but there\u2019s not much left in the city from that period.”<\/p>\n

This follows up, in a sense, on the Ikseon-dong segment I did on TBS eFM’s Koreascape<\/em> last year<\/a>. Back in 2013, I made my first appearance on\u00a0The Urbanist<\/em><\/a> to discuss Los Angeles with host Andrew Tuck, and the year after that, I went to London and interviewed him for Notebook on Cities and Culture<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Given that\u00a0Monocle<\/em> played an instrumental role in raising my own professional interest in cities in the first place, I suppose it makes sense that I’d subsequently have these encounters with it over over years in a different one each time. Where, I wonder, will the next one happen?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
