Abstract

Relationship between population trend and zoning regulation as well as other factors such as urban development style are examined in suburban new towns in Tokyo metropolitan area. Population trend of new towns recorded in “Digital national land information” are categorized based on census data, and the factors correlated with population decreasing districts is examined. Results suggest that the districts tend to be “population decreasing district” if they have relatively larger area of “Category 1 exclusively low-rise residential zone” or “Category 1 mid/high-rise oriented residential zone”, and those with “(Neighborhood) Commercial area” or “Category 2 exclusively low-rise residential zone” less likely to be “population decreasing area”.
