In this research, we considered the issues, limits and the improvement policies of the port plan systems for waterfront redevelopment. We analyzed the past redevelopment cases from various viewpoints based on documentary reviews and the results of questionnaire survey to port managers, and checked the consistency of the plans before and after redevelopment, and consequently identified the issues in the institutional frameworks about the adopted planning methods. In conclusions, it became clear that the redevelopment scale of less than 80-100ha and the project cost of less than 100 billion yen are indications for port plan to be completed within the target year of redevelopment project. In addition, we pointed out that as improvement policies on the port plan systems it is important to make the rigid procedure to include the project start time, the completion time, the responsible organization, and the expected achievement, and so on, in the planning matters when the redevelopment project is referred in a port plan.
