| Research Abstract |
This research examines the effects of compact city policy. In addition, we examine the way to promote city compactness by changing social systems. The estimation results show that the policy reduces greenhouse gas emissions caused by vehicles as well as increase traffic accidents and crimes. It is also revealed that urban planning instruments such as property tax are effective on making cities compact. Therefore, it is concluded that compact city polity can work as an environmental policy against global warming and that authorities can promote the compact city by changing urban planning instruments already implemented in Japan.
