Description

Discover how Japan transformed from a rural, economically disadvantaged nation into a global industrial powerhouse and one of the world's most urbanised societies during the twentieth century. This comprehensive study examines Japan's unique approach to urban planning and governance, revealing how Japanese cities developed distinctly from those in other developed nations despite planners drawing inspiration from international models. The book traces urban traditions and material culture from the pre-modern Edo period through to contemporary times, offering insights into the highly developed urban systems that shaped modern Japan's distinctive patterns of urbanisation and influenced its approach to city development and governance strategies.

Key Features

The Making of Urban Japan explores how twentieth-century transformations reshaped the country's urban landscape and industrial economy.

This Routledge publication examines Japanese urban planning methods and governance approaches that differ significantly from Western models.

The book connects pre-modern Edo period urban traditions to modern urbanisation patterns in contemporary Japan.

Part of the Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies series, offering scholarly analysis of Japan's distinctive urban development trajectory.
