Theory and Fact on Family's Residential Location

Japanese Economy, 1987, vol. 15, issue 4, 38-51

Abstract: Every city has its own particular geographical and economic structures. These were brought about gradually over the cities' long histories so that they would function efficiently. The population of Japan is heavily concentrated into three major metropolitan areas because of the process of urbanization rapidly brought on after World War II. As much as 60 percent of the population reside at present in cities. This extreme concentration of people into urban areas gave birth to a form of urban development that is unique to Japan and different from that of other countries. At the same time, it has also brought with it various urban problems.
