City Planning Act

Japanese: 都市計画法 - としけいかくほう

In a broad sense, it refers to laws related to the planned development of cities in general, including the City Planning Act in the narrow sense, the Land Readjustment Act, the Urban Redevelopment Act, etc. In a narrow sense, it refers to the City Planning Act (Act No. 100 of 1968), which is the basic law related to city planning. This was enacted to replace the old City Planning Act (Act No. 36 of 1919), and stipulates the contents of city plans, decision-making procedures, regional district systems, development permission systems, city planning restrictions such as building restrictions, the implementation of city planning projects and the approval of city planning projects, the Central Council for City Planning, as well as land funds and tax measures. In particular, in order to prevent disorderly expansion of urban areas, it distinguishes between urbanization areas and urbanization control areas, and stipulates various measures for each area.
