Japan has faced the social issues of a decreasing population and population aging for quite some time. For example, it is important to consider residential policy for regional cities in an integrated manner with urban planning that will lead to the rebirth and revitalization of central urban areas, and when implementing these measures gaining the cooperation of people through local networks is essential. In addition, it is also important to implement the formation of compact urban areas through control of land use in the suburbs and consolidation of functions in the urban center in a manner that is integrated with urban reorganization for that purpose.
