Kim Jung-un has opened  dialogue with South Korea and is also preparing to correspond with  other countries. There are both doubtful and positive responses to this  change. However, this opens a new possible scenario for North Korea in  the future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is focused on the potential that the country  has. Of course, they have lots of issues, but they can be a sustainable  country. Research begins with the past and existing condition of  the country, a Socialist government, and eludes to the future. To  set the strategies for future development, we need to focus on two  types of precedents: Post-socialist countries and megalopolis. Based on  these two features, this book suggests a new North Korean national  planning, called H-city.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eH-city will be the main structure for  future development. However, at the same time, micro-scale developments  should be encouraged too. What could be the catalysts for that? This book  is focused on train stations, markets, and the area between them. The  H-city with the small catalysts can make people imagine a new  possibility of North Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oro Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49536312443223,"sku":"9781943532773","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781943532773.jpg?v=1731901849","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-21st-century-socialist-country-towards-sustainability-9781943532773","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
