Abstract

In the 1960s, rapid economic growth of Japan resulted in urban problems such as public hazard, environmental pollution and destruction of historic streetscape etc. To rescue increasingly worsening living environment, various citizen endeavors have been carried out. The reflection of modern urban planning was called "Machi-zukuri". After tens of years of evolution, it has become the representative of the citizens and the citizen groups participating in urban planning, design and government affairs. Landscape "Machi-zukuri" is one of its important types. Through the case analysis of Chiba Townscape Citizen Festival, this paper discusses the successful experience of Japan in improving regional landscape architecture which is worth our reference.
