As for this thesis, Kyoto at the latter term of Edo period and the townscape in Edo examined a different reason in relation to the city fire prevention policy. The policy of improving the city fire prevention ability in Kyoto was executed after conflagration in 1708.
However, the Tokugawa Shogunate has already come to think about the improvement of the fire prevention ability of Kyoto enough in around 1710. Though the building type which had a high fire prevention ability in 1721 was compelled in Edo, and not compelled in Kyoto. Therefore, the conclusion is assumed that the townscape in Kyoto and Edo was different because of the difference of the city fire prevention policy. The main discourse examines the townscape in Kyoto of Edo period and the relation to the urban policy. It is thought that the epoch making converted to an urban policy different in Edo and Kyoto is a fire fighting of Kyoto according to the reformation in Kyoho-era by Tokugawa shogunate, and it became an immediate factor that the townscape in Edo and Kyoto becomes the different one.
