This paper is an attempt to analyze the evoluting process and the spatial characteristics of Dohtoku residential quarter in Nagaoya. Rice fields reclaimed in the Edo era were developed by Nagoya-sanbashi-soko Inc. in the early Showa era as the residential quarter for the workers of the factories around Nagoya Port. Although a licensed area was included in the preliminary plan, it was changed into the waterfront amusement park by the direction of the Town Planning Committee of Aichi Prefecture. Around this big park and five small parks, the streets were arranged in a partially radiating pattern.
