The Global Hub of Culture and the Arts: London

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑫] The Global Hub of Culture and the Arts: London   2025.12.01       Once called “the empire on which the sun never sets,” Britain has seen its tangible influence fade over the two centuries since its golden age in the 19th and 20th centuries, yet its symbolic power remains intact. London, a city that still holds the historical and cultural legacy built during the days of the British Empire, exemplifies this most clearly. This is why tracing the history of London back to its beginnings as the Roman fortress of Londinium is no easy task, for the meanings contained within its past are countless. London is also a city inseparable from one of humanity’s most significant milestones - the Industrial Revolution.During the Industrial Revolution, London was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world in terms of population. Its population, whic...

The Land Where Grain and Words Grow: Iowa

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑪] The Land Where Grain and Words Grow: Iowa   2025.11.03   University of Iowa (Source: University of Iowa website)     The State of Iowa, located in the midwestern part of the US, might be unfamiliar to most Koreans, but it is one of the most critical regions for American agriculture. Iowa is both the heart of the “Corn Belt” - known for its vast cornfields - and one of the main pillars of the “Grain Belt,” which is responsible for much of the nation’s crop production. Iowa is one of the few regions where the Corn Belt and the Grain Belt overlap. Anyone visiting Iowa for the first time would be astonished by the vastness of its farmland - so immense that even after driving for hours, you would see no end to it.The population of Iowa steadily increased from the late 19th to the early 20th century with the influx of agricultural immigrants, but urbanization later bro...

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑨] An Island With a History Rougher Than Any Storm at Sea: Sicily   2025.09.04       Is there any nation whose history runs smoothly from start to finish? Every chapter of human history bears its share of scars?wars, invasions, and natural disasters. In Sicily, those scars are carved deeper and are easier to see. In the 8th century BCE, the island was settled by the Greeks; later, it became a Roman province, remembered as the granary of the empire. After the fall of Rome and the great migrations of the Germanic peoples, the island became a prize fought over by the Islamic powers of North Africa and the Byzantine Empire. By the 9th century, it had become an Islamic emirate; in the late 11th century, the Normans seized it and founded the Kingdom of Sicily. For the next 200 years, the island was ruled by the Normans, followed by roughly 400 yea...

A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑧] A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm   2025.08.04       The nickname “Venice of Scandinavia” is not quite accurate for Stockholm. While Stockholm and Venice share a common ground in that they are both comprised of several islands and countless bridges connecting them, Stockholm is much smaller and quieter than Venice. People in Stockholm are adept at having conversations without much gesturing, while naturally maintaining an appropriate distance between themselves. However, in the summer, especially in August, the city transforms into a completely different place. The sun shines on the city well past nine in the evening, and people smile and chat with each other at a slightly closer distance than usual. It might be in an outdoor caf?, or on a boat rocking gently, or on the steps of Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel P...

Knowledge   The Korean Children’s Book Association Marks its 45th Anniversary Reading, sharing, and promoting books   2025.08.04   The Korean Children’s Book Association (KCBA) is an organization founded in 1980 that promotes a culture of reading among children in Korea. It marks its 45th anniversary this year. The 1970s, the period before the KCBA’s founding, was a time when human rights were severely violated in Korea, with freedom of speech and publishing being taken away amidst the oppression and repression of the dictatorship. Against this backdrop, teachers formed reading circles focused on children’s books to discover and introduce to children literature that captures Korean sentiments and culture. Then, in 1980, the KCBA was formed to carry out the campaign for children’s reading culture in earnest.The KCBA’s activities spread from teacher- to parent-oriented in the 1990s, and local clubs named “Adults Reading Children’s Books (동화읽는어른모임)...

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ③] Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders   2025.03.10       Berlin was a city divided into East and West by the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. For Koreans, it is also a place they feel an emotional connection to as they share the same history of division.

Stretching a whopping 1,316 meters long, it is the world’s largest open-air gallery - 108 artists from 21 countries drew 105 paintings on the wall in 1990 with messages of peace, unity, and opposition to war.
