With the construction of streetcar line 'Yunokawa-Sen' in early Taisho era, the suburb, in the east area of Hakodate, had been developed. The men who had developed this area in early stage were philanthropists. Most of the residential areas were developed linearly along the road of the former field, which ran at right angles to 'Yunokawa-sen'. The establishment of Housing Unions in Hakodate started just before the peak of the rate of increase of housing areas. 'Hakodate-Jutaku-Kumiai' had a remarkable influence on the development 'Bunka-Mura'. In 'Midorimachi-Dori', dwellings by housing unions initiated the owner-occupation. Moreover the residents of housing unions built up sustainable community as mentioned on several newspapers.
