reviewed Making of Urban Japan: Cities and Planning from Edo to the Twenty First Century on November 08, 2018 Making of Urban Japan: Cities and Planning from Edo to the Twenty First Century
A comprehensive description of Japanese urbanism from the 17th Century until the turn of the 21st Century. As an academic textbook, it relies on jargon and acronyms a fair bit particularly in the later half, but on the whole is very accessible.
As someone interested in transport, particularly railways, I would have liked more analysis of Japan's public transport systems. The book goes into some detail about suburban railways and their role in urban development, but other than that doesn't discuss transport much other than to note its positive impact on Japanese cities. I cannot fault the author for that however, since such analysis is beyond the scope of this book.
This is essential reading for anyone interested in Japanese cities and how they came to be.
