Introduction

Urban Design laboratory started in April 2008 on TUT.
Our purposes are as follows:

1. to consider system and forms of comfortable and safe life environment in the scale view of district-city-urban-region,
2. to consider desirable land use control system for preserving health and cultural urban life and keeping vital urban activities,
3. to consider methods of urban design and preservation for high-quality urban environment and beautiful land/townscape,
4. to go upstream of urban planning history and roots of cities for "machizukuri" which thinks distinctive characters or inherence of each city important.

There are two themes mainly.
One of them is to clarify today's problems of land use planning in Japan and to propose desirable system for coming of urban shrinkage era in near future Japan.
The second one is to consider fundamental thought and planning technique of modern urban planning and citymaking process of modern age by studying Japanese urban planning history of 1868-1960s.
Additionally we study problems about land use planning and residential environment, up-grading of townscape and urban design, and modern urban planning history in foreign students' countries.
