This report aims to clarify the effects of citywide review of zoning and to examine the necessity of such review by clarifying the history of citywide review of zoning, its intention, and whether the intended urban area has been formed, in Sapporo, a city that regularly conducts citywide zoning review. The intended land use is being used in three of the four targeted reviews, and should be reviewed at least in areas where the population is increasing. However, the review in areas with declining populations failed to induce the intended land use, so reviewing in such areas is a challenge.
