Townscape is visual cognition of amenity of urban environment. Thus the issue of sustainability intownscape is not only to conserve the historical buildings but also to seek for the way to coexist old andnew buildings in local context of urban environment to conserve its fabric. Both the recent argumentfor destruction of townscape in Kyoto and promotion of building conversion in Osaka are concerned insustainability of local context that are based on the historical, social, and cultural resources with localvalue in the areas. Regulations for the townscape, however, are generally translated as those to controlbuilding within the site, but essentially the context of local environment should be translated to beregulations as local rules or manners because the townscape is collective environment of individualbuildings. Moreover, as the most of the urbanized area in Japan has undergone the continuousrebuilding and development without specific future vision, any system to coordinate rebuilding anddevelopment in the local context should be discussed to manage urban alteration as well as regulations.to Control Physical conditions.
