During the period of high economic growth, Kyoto City built a huge artificial city to meet the ever-increasing demand for housing. That city was "Rakusai New Town". Rakusai New Town was born with great fanfare as a huge artificial city with a planned population of 40,900 people and 10,900 houses. Rakusai New Town was not just a residential area, but also had hotels, libraries, a general government office, a post office, banks, and commercial facilities, such as the department store Takashimaya in the center of the new town, making it a truly grand plan to build a city from scratch. This video provides a thorough explanation of why such a grand urban development failed. The extra video of this video is available on the sub-channel "Japan Creation Radio", so please check it out!
