Abstract
This report reviews the evolution of
Quality Infrastructure Investments (QII) in the Japanese
urban sector. The report is structured around the six QII
principles (sustainable development, economic efficiency,
environmental considerations, disaster resilience, social
considerations and governance) and the three phases of
post-war development in Japan. Specifically, the evolution
of the six principles is reviewed in relation to historical
events during the periods 1956–73, 1974–90, and 1990–2020.
The report has the associated case studies for urban
practitioners' further read.
