Urban Planners Have Been Requiring New Urban Planning Procurement and Urban Vision Set up Every Urban Area in Japan, Because Existing One Doesn't Have Enough Controlling Over Land Use Based on Total Vision. They Usually Make City Plans from City Center Cores Which Stock Urban Infrastructures, Road, Rail, Water Facilities, School, Governmental Office, Business Office, Hospital, Shopping Space and so on.
In Spite of Their Ideal Vision and Plan, Around Urban Periphery Developer Made Big Projects, Shopping Mall, Cinema Complex and Local Government Locate Public Facilities, Hospital, Apartments, Schools.
Japanese People Now Consider Sustainable Compact City Concept Needed Rather Than Economic Growth Structured by Population Less-Growth Age.
Economists Can Agree Some Parts of Urban Planer Ideas. Urban Planning With Total Visions, Efficient Urban Social Capitals Using, More Developed Center Cores. But Economists Require Keeping Competition Between Urban And Suburban Land Use. If Suburban Location Regulation Introduced, Land Owner in Center Core Area Can Possibly Get Monopolistic Rents. For Efficient Competitive Center Core, Economists Require Competitive Land Use Not Only Among Center Core Area But Also Between Urban And Suburban.
Economists Also Admit Some Certain Regulation on Suburban Developments in The Case of Technological Externalities Cancelled Out by Levying Pigoubian Tax.
