This paper describes the changing process of modern Fukuyama townscape, using field surveys and computer graphics. In the Edo era, the castle town of Fukuyama had clear plan of townscape. But after the Meiji Restoration, the town went to ruin. The citizen saved the pavilions of the castle, but they made reclaimed land from the moat of castle and the canal for the city development at that time. After the Second World War the city authorities widened the streets using land readjustment at the bombsite. And the elevated railroad of the Shinkansen rose between the city area and the castle in the mid-1970s. Recently high-rise buildings, such as apartments and a hotel, rose near the castle. In order to create a beautiful townscape of Fukuyama, We should remember once city planning again.
