A series of laws on the recycling of waste and waste management under the framework of the Basic Law for Establishing the Recycling-Based Society aim to create a recycling-oriented society in place of throwaway-based society. In order to achieve this object, each target group, in each stage of the manufacturing of goods and waste management, will be expected to make an optimum concern on the recycling-oriented society. Although the expanded producer's responsibility scheme will play an important role in general, it is not applied to the buildings mainly because of the length of their life-cycle.

This paper examines statistical aspects of urban redevelopment in Japan from 1973 to 1998, and then finds the important characteristics and their dynamics of redevelopment projects. We can identify drastic changes of redevelopments through the bubble economic boom in the large major cities, while we find no such changes in the other cities. We propose two steps hypotheses on the drastic changes in the large cities, the first is that the surge of land price would affect project profitability, and the second is that the change of profitability would vary the scale, the location, and the floor-complexes of redevelopments. We consider and specify these factors by empirical data.
