Japan entered its period of rapid
economic growth in the late 1950s, and for half a century
since then, the concentration of population, industries, and
other functions in three major metropolitan areas,
particularly in Tokyo, was remarkably intense. For the
well-balanced development of Greater Tokyo metropolitan
area, comprising Tokyo and seven prefectures, the National
capital region development plan (NCRDP) was formulated in
1958 under the National region development act 1956. The
concept of the plan was to conserve green spaces that
embraces the healthy natural environment as well as to carry
out the comprehensive development of the Tokyo Metropolis
and the surrounding regions as an integrated capital region
in order to build a capital region that is suitable for the
center of politics, economy and culture. At present, Japan
is entering an era of substantial decline and aging of the
population decline, which requires to reexamine all plans
and policies for reconstructing the society. It is therefore
of great importance to reorganize town areas in a compact
form, to respond to the problems of uninhabited or abandoned
land and dwellings, as well as to strategically manage and
renew social capital. |
