Kurotani had admired Shunji Miyao for about 40 years from 1901 and they had coincided with a thought that there was needed Confucianism for administration. Because Kurotani's ideal society was gemeinschaft by Confucianism, his thought about city planning was depended on Confucianism. According to his thought, the purpose of city planning was intensification of public happiness and he relentlessly denounced city planning with individualism and commercialism.
