Regeneration for Contexts and Heritages of "Postwar City Planning" in local and international views

The local contexts of postwar city planning in Japan were discussed through the intensive researches in Fujisawa, Takashimadaira, Tsukuba and Toyama. In particular, “street”, “area” and “city” were useful viewpoints for understanding the context of Fujisawa center district. Three important viewpoints, “Redevelopment project is not a discontinuity for contexts”, “Redevelopment project is not a private construction project” and “Redevelopment project continues after the completion of construction” were derived from our intensive research on the Fujisawa 391 block. The International Planning History Society Conference 2018, hosted by our team, was held as an important event for discussing on postwar city planning in international contexts in July 2018. Participants from 28 countries discussed various topics on planning history in 67 panels and 7 round tables under the conference theme “Looking at the World History of Planning”.
