Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical aspects of urban development and town planning for reconstruction in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The text emphasizes the importance of creating compact cities to enhance disaster resilience and sustainability, focusing on the restoration of social infrastructure and housing. It explores the concept of compact cities, their philosophy, goals, and the impact on the land market and resource allocation. The chapter also discusses the attitudes of residents in affected areas toward urban development and town planning, highlighting the need for thorough zoning and public transportation policies to support compact city initiatives. Additionally, the text addresses the challenges of passing on the legacy of the earthquake to future generations, emphasizing the importance of disaster education and the preservation of natural environments. The conclusion underscores the necessity of maintaining a safe and secure lifestyle perspective in urban development and town planning for reconstruction, rather than focusing solely on economic revitalization.
