In 1919, City Planning Law was enacted with “the Urban Aesthetic District”. But even now, we have only 5 districts designated. There are two groups, the group 1 was designated before World War II; Tokyo Chiyoda-ku in 1933 (294. 6ha), Osaka in 1934 (125. 6ha), Ise in 1939 (3.2ha). And the group 2 after the World War II; Numadu in 1953 (0.7ha), and Kyoto in 1972 (932.2ha).
In this paper, we make the concept of this “the Urban Aesthetic District” clear by analyzing both the discussion in “The Investigation Committee on the City Planning Law (1918)”, and the historical case studies on these 5 districts.
