Outline of Research at the Start

本研究は、都市空間の活性化の面から戦災後の復興計画を評価することを目的とする。研究方法は資料調査・現地調査を通して二つの復興の事例を調べるというもので、内戦で街が破壊されたベイルート・ダウンタウンと第二次世界大戦時に原爆被害を受けた広島中心部を対象とする。ベイルート・ダウンタウンは復興事業対象であったが、復興の後衰退状況が見られている。一方で、広島市中心部は原爆で破壊されたが、今は賑わいがもたらされている。衰退・賑わいの比較をすることで、戦争で破壊された都市中心部が復興後に賑わいがあるか衰退しているかを具体的に把握し、アクティビティの様子の変遷と復興計画の実施・アプローチの関係を明らかにする。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

This research has continued to examine the influence of post-war reconstruction planning on urban vitality. In addition to Beirut and Hiroshima, this research has shed light on the reconstruction of Le Havre after The Second World War. The three case studies provide contrasting approaches of reconstruction: a neoliberal reconstruction of Beirut City Centre, citizens-led reconstruction of Hiroshima Hondori Commercial Street, and the modernist thought-driven reconstruction of Le Havre City Centre. Giving particular attention to commercial spaces, this research examined the modernist-driven reconstruction of Rue de Paris as the main commercial street in the city centre of Le Havre. Based on survey of literature and planning documents, tracing Le Havre’s development clarified the historical value of Rue de Paris which adds to its monumental value as the connection between the city hall and the port. Comparing pre-war layout of the city centre with post-war planning proposals clarifies the large spatial transformation under reconstruction. However, Rue de Paris was maintained as the main commercial street, and planning authorities have given attention to commercial spaces on both planning and architecture level by setting guidelines for shop allocation and adding a two-sides colonnade to Rue de Paris.
