However, the process of globalization is supposed to bring about homogenization of the local cultures. This International Symposium focus on the relationship between globalization and localization in the process of urban redevelopment; the reflection on the role of historic/cultural resources in global city building; the experience on urban heritage conservation and renovation, etc. We intend to promote the comparative studies on these topics in different East-Asian global cities, especially Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo.
