Hyun Bang Shin, BSc (Seoul National University), MSc (LSE), PhD (LSE), joined the Department of Geography and Environment, LSE in 2008.
His research involves re-thinking of various concepts that are produced out of the development experience of post-industrial/Western cities, and aims at understanding how the experience of East Asian urbanisation propelled by strong states re-writes the social and physical landscape in the context of global uneven development.
Four themes have been at the centre of his research: (1) property-based urban redevelopment and state entrepreneurialism; (2) urban development politics; (3) Asian urbanisation; and (4) theorising gentrification in the Global South.
He was the recipient of the STICERD/LSE Annual Fund New Researcher Award in 2009, which funded his two-year research (May 2009 - July 2011) on the socio-spatial implications of the 2010 Asian Summer Games in Guangzhou, China.
Together with colleagues from the UK, Chile and Argentina, Hyun Shin also received funding from the Urban Studies Foundation and the Urban Studies journal to organise Urban Studies Seminar Series (2011-2012) on Towards an Emerging Geography of Gentrification in the Global South. He is currently involved in URBACHINA, a four-year international research collaboration funded by the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
