Abstract
In Japan, many cities are interested in Compact City or its implementations of the ‘Compact City’.There are several reasons why Japanese cites tend to prefer the concept, about these circumstances, brief comment are pointed out in this paper., And how they are trying to adopt the concept in City Plan, description on two cities, Fukui City and Sendai City as examples.Japanese cities started its effective adaptation. 2000th amendments of City Planning Act can realize it, but not. We have problems, at 21st century, how Japanese cities can make future vision or strategy. For Compact City, or to be a city ‘compact’, we should exam our land use system, and we must try to have two new implementations. One is combination planning between land-use and traffic. And second is consideration on the local rule (in other word it is by-lows of cities) for city planning, such as land-use or building-codes.
