Abstracts

Ulsan and Cheongju stand out as South Korea's most economically vibrant cities in South Korea. Cheongju is recognised as having the greatest potential for future economic expansion. Nevertheless, these cities will face ongoing challenges. In the short term, they will have to navigate a global economic slowdown, inflationary pressures, and tighter financial conditions. Looking ahead, there will be growing strains on their infrastructure due to substantial and continuously increasing populations.
