Abstract

This study analyzes the conversion process of the waterfront area from mining to industry in prewar Ube City, focusing on the differences between the east and west of Majime River. On the west, the mining was consolidated at an early stage and reclamation and railroad construction progressed, which influenced the location of new factories in the 1920-30s. On the east, the consolidation was delayed, and the development of industrial infrastructure was slow, resulting in fewer factories until the early 1940s. City planning played a certain role for the industrial formation by planning a new road network in the area.
