| Research Abstract |
This research aims to examine how war damage and disasters affected change in the residential differentiation of Japanese six major cities : Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. While Kyoto suffered little damage from World War II, Tokyo was one of the most severely damaged cities in Japan. According to the result of comparing both Kyoto and Tokyo, the impact of the war damage on change in the structure of residential area was rather insignificant, compared to that of the high economic growth in Japan after World War II.
