Abstract

In 1990s, regional administrative union system was expected as the main actor on regional planning, however, municipalities' consolidation has been promoted strongly by the central government in Japan. In this paper, it is aimed to evaluate the municipalities' consolidation from the following viewpoints, focusing on the difference with "union": its area, the transition of regional planning before and after consolidation, its unity and power to implement the strategic regional planning, and the decentralization of power inside a city. As a conclusion, the areas of consolidation are not so conformed to the actual urban area (Urban Employment Area) and it should be needed to discuss about the regional cooperation system for effective regional planning. From the case of Saitama-city, there are some effects due to the consolidation, but on the other hand, the care for the districts and citizens become more important.
