Abstract
The purpose of our study is to analyze the future housing demand for the baby-boomers who live in Osaka metropolitan area. The followings are the result:(1) Osaka metropolitan area consists of 76 cities.(2) There was so called “Housing Sugoroku” that the population has dispersed to the suburb area as the population in the urban area is overpopulated after the war.(3) The miss matching in houses appears because many baby-boomers need not have big houses but most of them tend to live in the same houses, which mostly have large spaces.(4) Now, the generations after the baby-boomers demand larger housing spaces especially in the suburb area. In conclusion, our government needs to make better housing plans to promote relocation of dwelling.
