| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research project is to search for a method with the urban redevelopment of the 21st century in Japan through the various problems which occur in the redevelopment.
We noticed that the negotiation processes carried out in the German case and the Japanese case have a lot in common. Although the redevelopment methods were set up and implemented independently from each other, negations involving conflicting interests seem to be proceeding in the generally the same direction in both Japan and Germany.
However three differences can be mentioned. The first is the redevelopment period, in the German case has been nearly completed in 10 years. This is influenced by various factors. Redevelopment is not something that can be accomplished by only spending a lot of time. We have a lot to learn from Germany which is able to implement programs quickly and effectively.
The second point is that while displacement of the original residents was limited as much as possible in the redevelopment in Japan, urban renewal in Germany has been accompanied by gentrification. From now on, we will have to search for a future model of redevelopment which does not entail a displacement of residents, and can be carried out in a short time.
Finally, I wish to mention the difference in consciousness between German and Japanese owners as to the harmony and coherence of the urban landscapes. "The best piece of land is one where you may build any kind of buildings." is sometimes said in Japan. While the German case was carried out rapidly under the control of the municipal administration, in the Japanese case where there is no effective means of administrative control, the only way to implement redevelopment schemes has been by offering subsidies to "sweeten the deal". From now on, we should examine it about the obligation in the redevelopment.
