Abstract
The Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake did great damage to inner-city area. A lot of discussions about the revival have been done in one year. In this paper, the revival in the inner-city area is considered especially focusing to the problem of aging society. The rapid aging in the inner-city community has become a social problem before the earthquake. Taking into account the influence of this situation on the damage of the earthquake, we have to consider this problem seriously aiming at the revival. Then this is an important problem common to the community formation not only in the struck area but also in a megalopolis of the future.
