Abstract
This paper is intended to draw the structure of urban improvement (Shikukaisei) in Gifu during 1887-1889, focusing on the operating bodies and organizations around them and their financial resources to promote the plan. This urban improvement which is the early example among modern local municipalities must be understood through the dynamic relation that connects various incidents in the same period, such as the park improvement, construction of the red-light district, opening the chamber of commerce, and relocation of the railway station. This paper clarifies that Gifu Shikukaisei accomplished dynamically by merchant volunteers, who would be the main bodies in Gifu City born after this urban reformation, using government officials with own forcing fund.
