This course aims to introduce case studies of urban innovation through city marketing, cultural tourism, and public transportation policies as a strategy for revitalizing the local community and to analyze the effects of such cases. Through domestic and international examples, the course deals with the physical, social, and economic conditions of urban innovation, which helps students understand the success and risk (failure) factors and their ripple effects. It will also identify relevant domestic and international policies and discuss development directions to minimize risks and to maximize their positive impacts."}
