Among the many ideas proposed after the war, in Hiroshima, there were the idea of peace memorial facilities and the idea of peace memorial city as a whole, however those proposes were not always appointed to carry out for the fiscal crisis and materials deficiency. Therefore the planning idea led up to the enactment of Bill for Construction of Hiroshima Eternal Peace Commemorating City which took an active part to carry out those proposes as the strong system. At the same time, this planning idea was not examined deeply but became formally influential. The above is the formation process of this planning idea.
