Introduction to Urban and Regional Planning (1 time) The principal problems of cities and regions will be presented, and the social background and necessity for planning will be described.

In addition, using case examples from Kyoto we will explain the basic measures relating to urban developments, including land reallocation, urban redevelopment, and district planning among others that are key to historic and natural preservation. Urban Models and Theory (2 times) Urban models, such as the population forecast/migration model, economic cycle/base model, land use model, and so forth will be explained. Environmental Problems and Urban Systems (3 times) Current issues related to environmental problems, the global environment, the urban environment, and requirements for planning from the viewpoint of environmental economics will be described. In particular, as the foundation of these issues, the theory of external diseconomies will be described in detail. System and Financial Resources of Urban Planning (2 times) The social benefits achieved through urban planning will be explained, while focusing on the relationship between benefits and burdens. Basic theories of urban planning systems and financial resources will also be described. Urban Transportation Measures (2 times) Urban transportation measures will be explained from the viewpoint of urban development. In particular, we will discuss the direction of transportation measures that should be taken into consideration in order for cities to maintain a level of sustainability based on environmental and energy issues. Summary of all Lectures (1 time) All lectures will be summarized and relevant tasks will be organized. Finally, achievement levels will be confirmed. |
