Abstract

ONE OF THE REMARKABLE CHARACTERISTICS OF JAPAN'S PLANNING SYSTEM USED TO BE THE LACK OF LEGAL PROVISION FOR MASTER PLANS. THE 1992 AMENDMENT OF THE CITY PLANNING ACT, HOWEVER, NOW REQUIRES THE MUNICIPALITY TO PREPARE ITS OWN MASTER PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANY EXISTING OFFICIAL PLANS AND POLICIES, INCLUDING THE POLICY FOR IMPROVEMENT, DEVELOPMENT OR CONSERVA-TION. THIS PAPER AIMS AT IDENTIFYING ALL THOSE PLANS AND POLICIES, AND THEIR LEGAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MUNICIPAL MASTER PLAN, WHICH LEADS TO SOME IMPLICATIONS OF THE LIMITED NATURE OF THE MUNICIPAL MASTER PLAN.
