Housing and construction have been at the heart of the rebuilding
and revitalization of the Japanese economy since 1945. At the
beginning of the 21st century, after a decade of economic
insecurity and stagnation, the government is taking a more radical
stance on social and economic policies and strategies. Housing is
again at the center of transitional initiatives to revive Japanese
cities, elevate the global status of the capital, and revitalize
the economy.
This book brings together a number of perspectives on the Japanese
housing system in order to provide a comprehensive, challenging and
theoretically developed account of the dynamic role of the housing
system during a period of unprecedented social and economic change
in one of the most enigmatic social, political, and economic
systems of the modern world. While Japan demonstrates many of the
characteristics of some western housing and social systems,
including mass homeownership and consumption-based lifestyles,
extensive economic growth and rapid urban modernization has been
achieved in balance with traditional social values and the
maintenance of the family system.
Part one explores the dynamics of the development of the housing
system in post-war Japan, while part two deals with social issues
related to housing in terms of social aging, family relations,
gender and inequality. Part three addresses the Japanese housing
system and social change in relation to comparative and theoretical
frameworks.
This book provides challenges and insights for the academic
community at large, as well as a good introduction to the study of
Japan and its housing, economic, social and welfare system
generally.
