Housing development in the northwestern hilly part of the Nara Basin ( Japan).

Abstract

A study was made of the housing development in the northwestern hilly part of the Nara Basin, using urban planning materials of Nara Prefecture and aerial photographs as well as doing field work. As a result, it was found that a rapid housing development had first begun along the Kintetsu Nara line, and extended to the southern, central and northeastern parts in a leapfrogging manner, then filled the areas between earlier housing developments. -from English summary
