STUDY ON THE LAND READJUSTMENT BY PUBLIC ORGANIZATION UNDER ARTICLE 13 OF THE FORMER CITY PLANNING ACT DURING WWII

Since the pre-war period, city planning administration had consistently and strongly planned to promote its projects through public organization-enforced land readjustment, and during the wartime period rapid expansion occurred, primarily in new industrial city planning. In particular, local cities that had previously delayed city planning projects had high hopes for a breakthrough in the situation, and Sendai was a typical example. Through the discussion in this paper, it is considered that wartime city planning inherited the project system formed in the pre-war period, and that the coercive nature that characterized it was already in place at that time.
