Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the network city in detail as a new model for explaining urban growth in the changing economic environment in recent years. For this purpose, starting from Batten's (1995) pioneering work on network city in the mid 1990s to the most recent ones, literature is reviewed and various aspects of network city model are examined including formation process, spatial structure, application to management and urban planning, and growth potential. With this, the study aims at providing comprehensive knowledge necessary for evaluating if the network city model is appropriate in explaining the urban phenomena in the 21st century. The result of the review shows that network city model is the one appropriately explaining the changing urban system associated with the economic globalization and the development of transport and information technology. In addition, more and more European city governments tend to adopt this as the urban planning principle.

본 연구의 목적은 최근의 경제 환경 변화 속에서 도시성장을 설명하는 새로운 모형으로 대두된 네트워크 도시를 심층적으로 이해하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 1990년대 중반 Batten(l995)의 시론적인 네트워크 도시 연구로부터 출발하여 현재에 이르기까지 관련 연구들을 정리하고 궁극적으로 네트워크 도시이론의 다양한 측면, 즉 형성과정, 공간구조, 관리 및 도시계획에의 응용, 성장에 대한 전망 등을 고찰해 봄으로써 네트워크 도시이론이 21세기의 도시현상을 설명하는데 적절한 이론인지에 대한 판단을 위해 필요한 포괄적인 지식을 제공하고자 한다. 관련연구들을 분석해본 결과 네트워크 도시는 경제의 세계화와 교통 및 정보통신기술의 발전과 함께 수반된 도시현상의 변화를 적절히 설명해 주는 이론일 뿐만 아니라 유럽을 중심으로 여러 도시정부들이 도시계획원리로 적극적으로 수용해 나가는 추세에 있는 유용한 개념으로 판단된다.
