Abstract
In Japanese early modern ages' cities, the utilization of estate depended on the people's rank system. So, after the Meiji Restoration, one of the most remarkable thing on Japanese modern cities is the conversion of logics which connect people with space. Especialy, this paper takes notice of the developments of the samurai residences, called shinkai-cho, which had been started building from 1868 and continued till the end of the Meiji Era in Tokyo. The first type of shinkai-cho was planned by the public works to remodel a city, but what motivated many such developments was basically the various desires of the common people who couldn't enter bukechi easily in the Edo period.
