Chapter Chapter 10 in Spatial Economics for Building Back Better, 2021, pp 283-290 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Through out this book, we discussed the way to build back the disaster-stricken areas. Some may criticize that the reconstruction cost would be too high, given the declining population. Our arguments oppose to that view to leave the areas demolished by each large-scale disaster as they are. From the spatial economics viewpoint, we consider that the national land should be fully utilized. The utilization of the reconstructed land and infrastructure will change with the learning of people from the new environments and new actors. The short-sighted judgement must be avoided because the evaluation of reconstruction would be only possible based on a long-run view over several hundred years.
