Japan’s urban planning system began with the Urban Renewal (1885) and has been modified since then in various ways through the Tokyo City Improvement Ordinance (1888) and the City Planning Law (1919). From 1895 to 1945 (Japanese colonization era), Japan applied and tested its urban planning in Taipei (1895–1945), Seoul (1910–1945, Gyeongseong), and Beijing (1936–1945). Although Tokyo was the first city discussed for planning, urban renewal was implemented in other colonized cities in a similar period. What Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, and Taipei have in common is that they are built around fortress walls. Hence, the present study aims to examine the characteristics of Tokyo’s urban planning and reveal how Japan’s urban planning transformed these cities in East Asia, which had different cultures and styles, during Japanese colonial rule. We analyzed urban renewal projects implemented in each city, the organization of a committee to plan the City Planning Ordinance, the effect of urban planning, the characteristics of urban planning, and changes in existing downtowns.

This study is to consider the trend of the substitute Lot which was given to the town (to take up the subject) to protect against fire during the Genroku period-Kyoho term. This paper consists of two contents: 1. The urban special configuration of the protection space against fire, the original lot and the substitute lot using Kanda Sakumacho ,2. The social structure of the original lot and the substitute lot through "Noh Play Look" and the labor (tax) of Minamidaikucho. As for the relation between original lot and the substitute lot, the social structure and the urban spatial configuration consist of different layers. Townspeople of the original lot and the substitute lot did their labor and enjoyed "Noh Play Look" together beyond the urban spatial structure of the town. The space and society by the original lot and the substitute lot were accomplished by different mechanism, but it is certain that Edo city was accomplished by these.
