Abstract
Since 1991, Housing Master plans for composite, systematic and spatial housing policy have been made by municipalities. This paper deals with the basic framework (population, households, number of houses etc.), areal division and types of urban residential district in Housing Master Plans in the Tokyo ward area in order to compare and analyze these plans.
Through this analysis, it seems that there are some issues to re-examine in the Housing Master Plans. First, there should be a stronger linkage between the plans' basic framework and actual supply by various kinds of housing providers. Second, areal division and types of residential districts should be planned in greater detail to achieve and improved spatial housing policy.
