This paper first discusses the risk of a monocentric national spatial pattern centered on Tokyo, which seems to be accelerating recently, as well as the issues on the national spatial strategy revealed due to the damages caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami, and the subsequent accident of the nuclear power plant from the long term viewpoint. In the second part, the importance of self-organizing spatial governance is discussed and a new perspective of reconstruction vision is proposed based on the refining of lifestyles.
