“…According to case studies conducted in the central areas of local cities in Japan, there are three types of condominium residents: (1) young, married couples with children, who tend to have grown up in neighboring areas and are expected to inherit real property from their parents; (2) single-person households (mainly single women), who wish to achieve independence by purchasing housing; (3) middle-aged or retired couples, who move into condominiums in convenient areas after their children have left home (Sakakibara et al 2003;Hirose 2000;Otsuka 2005;Kagawa 2007;Kubo 2008).…”

This study aims to clarify the correlation between the transformation of the Japanese housing market and the increasing number of single-person households in Japan, with a special focus on the supply of compact condominiums. In order to achieve the abovementioned purpose, the changes in the Japanese housing market and diversification of the Japanese household structure are described. Finally, the features of the supply strategies of condominium suppliers, which reflect the diversification of the household structure and increasing need for condominiums by single-person households in central Tokyo, are examined.

“…The third focus in recent intra-urban migration literature is the population recovery in the central parts of major cities since the mid-1990s (Yabe 2003;Yamagami 2003a;Sakakibara et al 2003;Shimizu 2004a, b;Miyazawa and Abe 2005;Otsuka 2005). This new movement reflects the population revival through massive construction of condominiums, falling land prices in the central parts of major cities, and the disposal sale of real estate by private companies that suffered after the bubble economy's collapse in the early 1990s.…”

This paper reviews the existing literature on Japanese population geography since 2000 by major population topics, including projection , birth/death, migration, distribution, and household/marriage. Among these themes, migration studies (in particular , internal migration) still occupy a considerable proportion. The increase of GIS-based investigations is worthy of attention. Concerning the contribution of Japanese population geography as a whole , the following two things can be demonstrated. First, some Japanese population geographers have published major works in prestigious English foreign journals and have eagerly pursued international comparisons or joint studies with foreign researchers. Second, much of the research presumably deals with the manifold empirical aspects of the geographical impacts of Japan's population decline . Finally, a few problems concerning the existing literature are also mentioned.

“…Condominium supply is mostly limited to the central locations of the Tokyo area, local areas, and suburban cores. Basically, condominiums are preferred by small-size households in Japan (e.g., singleperson households, married couples without children, and elderly couples) (Sakakibara et al 2003;Hirose 2000;Otsuka 2005;Kagawa 2007;Kubo 2008). With the diversification of household structure and lifestyles in Japan (Aero 2006), the role of the condominium is becoming increasingly important in the Japanese housing market.…”

In particularly, residential public spaces do have a high economic, social and emotional importance. The present empirical study aims to highlight the first step in a complex process of planning.
