Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study uses Shibuya as a case study to examine two typical types of housing development that occurred in the prewar western suburbs of Tokyo as a result of urbanization and population growth. The first was "Shoto," a farm developed by the Nabeshima family, the former feudal lords of Saga, which later became a high-end residential area through planned housing development. This development can be seen as the management of the Nabeshima family. The second was "Daikanyama," where the prestigious Asakura family embarked on a land consolidation project to consolidate forests and cultivated land, building rental houses and tenement buildings, and managing the real estate on behalf of the landowners, developing the area. The rental rate in Shibuya was as high as 80% during the prewar period, and the real estate industry in the area where these rental houses were built transformed the area into a modern living space during the Showa period.
Free Research Field	歴史学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	従来研究のなかった戦前期渋谷周辺の住宅開発と生活空間の変容について、散逸史料の収集、新発見史料の調査・整理によって解明し、東京の近現代史研究の推進に寄与した。また、松濤を開発した旧佐賀藩主鍋島家の研究を通じて、地域を超えた研究の連携を深めた。かつ、佐賀市の鍋島報效会、渋谷区立渋谷区郷土博物館・文学館と共同研究を推進し、地域の歴史・文化の発展に寄与できた。さらに代官山朝倉家文書の調査・整理作業を通じて、地域の史料保存とアーカイブの構築に協力した。一方、佐賀市・渋谷区代官山において公開シンポジウムを実施し、研究の一端を公開するとともに、まちづくりを推進するNPO法人などとも協力関係を築けた。
