The purpose of this paper is to analyze the green space policies responding to urbanization on the fringe of Tokyo Wards Area in the 1950's and 60's. As the result of the study of 3 green space policies,the following 3points were emerged. 1)Based on the capital region plan in 1958, large parks in proposed green belt were built with government subsidies. 2)Riverside green spaces, private recreation areas and prescient forests were authorized in city plan as green open spaces. 3)In Green District, the basic policy of building restriction had been changed to control urban development and establish green spaces. Many land readjustment projects and housing development projects were carried out. Though Green District was all abolished in 1969,the areas have been controlled effectively under the city planning law.
