This paper aims to study plans of typical dwelling units for multi-family housing which are recently proliferating in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, Japan. The object of this research is to investigate the influencing factors in the plans through the analysis of the data accumulated from consumer housing magazines. We derive numerical and graphical data of units from the formatted information available. The analysis is undertaken on the features, such as the wall length facing the exterior. Using these measures of planning of units, we point out that the typical 3LDK plan is efficient in spatial management in the Japanese circumstance.
