Abstract

One of the major and recurring questions in urban studies is the relationship between geographies of the urban and the non-urban. This question was raised again during discussions about the formulation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially the debates over the inclusion of a stand-alone goal for sustainable cities, which ultimately became SDG 11. The concern over inequity and inequality is similarly at play in core questions of urban governance and how networks of governance are structured from national to regional to local levels. The South Korean healthcare system is characterized by two key trends: the dominance of the private sector, both for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals, over the public sector and its urban-based geography of services. For both public and private sector operators, healthcare and medical institutions in South Korea are classified according to the Medical Service Act by level of services provided.
