Since 1955, the development of housing projects clearing the forests has particularly been remarkable in the north and south-western parts of the hills around the urbanized area of Sendai (Fig. 1). Those sites are classified into two types: One is with areas continuous from the peripheral part of old built-up area, and the other is a type in which newly dryveloped areas are separated from that.
Less than 10% of the capital invested for the development is public funds.
The differenses between public and non-public developments are shown in the age composition of population (Fig. 2).
