The Relationship between City Growth and Urban Facilities in 1980-1995

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the relationship between city growth and urban facilities development in 1980-1995. We classified the cities in Kanto Area into 4 types by the population accumulation situation and city growth pattern. Then we analyzed the attribute factors on the city growth pattern by using the distinction analysis method. As a result, it becomes clear that the construction of arterial roads in the urbanization control area gives big influence to the classification of urban growth pattern. In order to manage the city growth, we have to consider the arterial road development in the urbanization control area carefully.
