Abstract
The concept of compact city has been paid mention to as the new urban form that responds to progress in aging, decrease of people living within the city cores, change in household composition and reduction of environmental loads. In this study, we surveyed progressive European cities famous for its compactness and sustainability and some Japanese cities to find the difference in the viewpoint of traffic system, open spaces, commercial area and clarity of city boundary. Finally, on the basis of the findings we made a proposal of urban forms for realizing a “compact city” in Kiryu city.
