Abstract

Ulsan, South Korea is home to the world's largest auto production complex and shipyard, and its second biggest petrochemicals combine. Drawing upon Jacobs' Contextualized Model of Urban-Regional Development, this article shows how Ulsan's growth path towards becoming one of the world's Great Industrial Cities was decisively shaped by both global and nested factors. While the weights of the various tiers from the global to local have fluctuated over time, no one level has had primacy. Through Ulsan this study seeks to introduce the concept of Great Industrial City and in the process: 1) remind scholars and practitioners about the continued importance of industrial cities for national economies and in global capitalism; 2) demonstrate how the world's city-regions have been decisively shaped by both international forces and embedded/nested factors; 3) enhance the English language reader's knowledge of South Korean urban areas; and 4) encourage scholars to more seriously consider the manufacturing sector when classifying world cities and delineating the global urban hierarchy, and thereby, expand the global-nested city debate beyond merely the analyzing of large financial centers.

蔚山,韩国:一个全球化和嵌套的“伟大”工业城市
韩国蔚山拥有全球最大的汽车生产基地和造船厂,以及全球第二大石化企业。本文以雅各布斯的城市区域发展情境化模型为基础,展示了蔚山成为世界大工业城市的成长道路是如何被全球和内部因素决定性地塑造的。虽然从全球到本地的各个层级的权重随着时间的推移而波动,但没有一个层级是首要的。通过蔚山,本研究试图引入大工业城市的概念,并在此过程中:1)提醒学者和实践者工业城市对国民经济和全球资本主义的持续重要性;2)展示世界城市区域是如何被国际力量和嵌入/嵌套因素决定性地塑造的;3)提高英语读者对韩国城市地区的认识;4)鼓励学者在对世界城市进行分类和描绘全球城市等级时更认真地考虑制造业,从而将全球嵌套城市的辩论扩展到仅仅分析大型金融中心之外。
