Abstract
We think it is useful for a project of civil engineering in the future to learn a technology of civil engineering of the past and study a formation of urban landscape. We classify the transition of urban development along the Takase Canal that was based on the function of a water transport systems. And we give consideration to mutual effects between the infrastructure and living environment along this canal. Takase Canal was constructed by making the best use of the latest technology in Edo period. This infrastructure played an active part in those days and supply many amenity to cities along this canal in Kyoto.
