Abstract
This chapter uses social, economic and political lenses to examine the integration of urban heritage conservation and urban redevelopment that was triggered by the bubble economy and its after-effect, which severely hit major cities across Japan, including Tokyo. While long-term economic recession increased pressure on urban redevelopment and escalated the demolition of urban heritage properties, the national government’s deregulation policies promoted public–private collaboration and partnership not only in the economic sector but in the urban and the heritage sectors. Government agencies, private developers, experts and urban heritage property owners came together to implement a framework for heritage-led urban regeneration in the urban land-use planning system, leading to a great deal of debate over issues of authenticity, heritage conservation and urban redevelopment.
