Metropolitan areas of Japan have recently experienced significant structual changes. The population change exerts a big influence on the growth and decline of the city. In addition, urban deterioration leads to a migration of individuals to the suburbs. This paper inspects the population changes in the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas and explains the close relationship btween urban amenities and migration. It finds that a decentralized urban public policy is necessary to stop cumulative city deterioration.
