Manufacturing in Japan is largely dependent on small and medium-sized factories located in urban areas. However, in recent years, many small and medium-sized factories have been closed due to the reason such as the ageing of their owners. In some cases, former factory sites are used for housing, mainly condominiums for single people, and as a result, a mixed residential-industrial problem has emerged. It is significance to investigete the urban development considering the resistant to flood disasters and capable of sustainable development, while maintaining the regional characteristics of manufacturing. In this study, we proposed a method of solving the problem by land readjustment projects based on an urban planning method, taking into consideration the revitalisation of small and medium-sized factories, the mixed residential-industrial problem, and measures to inundation due to flood. The method was applied to the Ota Ward area of Tokyo and its validity was examined.
