A STUDY ON THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS OF CONCENTRATED URBAN FUNCTIONS THROUGH PUBLIC FACILITY REORGANIZATION

This study aims to clarify urban concentration through public facility reorganization and obtain knowledge on effective reorganization methods for concentrating urban functions in city and district centers under location optimization plans. Analysis of 81 Japanese local cities revealed decreasing public facilities outside urban function promotion areas and increasing new facilities in city and district centers. Although facility integration progressed, concentration of urban functions was insufficient through reorganization alone. Furthermore, over 80% of district centers have not undergone facility reorganization, revealing significant challenges.
