research of the neighborhood theory

Yoshikazu Uchida, who introduced neighborhood theory to Katsuta, discussed specific figures for a residential neighborhood in the Housing Problem Committee and the Japan Life and Culture Academic Society. Goro Ito, who was a member of Uchida’s study group, promoted the construction of new industrial cities in the Home Ministry and presumably drafted “Guidelines on the Construction of a New Industrial City.” After the end of the Second World War, the Architectural Institute of Japan submitted “Proposal on City Planning and Housing Measures in the Post-War Period” to the prime minister and the War Damage Reconstruction Institute. That is, the planning unit of a residential neighborhood was recognized as the basic standard, while the postwar period inherited the contents of city planning developed during the war.
