Abstract
The history of Nagoya's urban development begins with "Kiyoshu Goshi. " Therefore, throughout the Edo period, the skeleton of the present central part of Nagoya was formed. In the Meiji era, Nagoya was transformed into a modern city plan in response to the wave of modernization. In the latter half of the Showa era, town development for reconstruction from the war damage was carried out. Projects such as the construction of the famous 100m road and the mass relocation of the graveyard was carried out. In modern times, town development is being carried out to improve the living style and environment. Both the Sakae and Nagoya Station areas are being redeveloped at the same time. Especially in the latter case, it is linked with the opening of the Linear Shinkansen. In such a history of Nagoya's urban development, the author will introduce the characteristics of Nagoya or Nagoya City by focusing on characteristic events centered on the perspectives of living and the environment.
