Two years ago, I reported the Tsunami damage caused by the East Japan Great Earthquake, and regarding to this I have proposed a city with a city wall to prevent such tsunami damage. Because of there are less lands for relocate towns to higher ground. In last summer, I've been visiting the old city of Dubrovnik in Croatia facing to the Adriatic Sea, as an example of such a city. This city is surrounded by the firm city wall to fortify the seaside and landward. Actually in various combats, it had protected the city from enemies very well. I was able to image this city wall will be also effective against tsunami. Yuan Professor of Tokyo City University, Teiichi Aoyama talked about a similar opinion.

Le-Mirail had been built from 1964 to 1972 according to the modern urbanism to accept population growth of Toulouse with industrialization. But from the 1980s, it was occupied by many poor immigrants and became problem estate in which crimes occur frequently. There were social uniformity of the poor, and specific background of huge architectural town structure. To improve this situation, specific and social renovations are being made by “Grand Projet de Ville”. The same had occurred in Bijlmermeer. Huge housing blocks and vast open-spaces or large parking buildings were demolished or renovated. It should be suggested that huge architectural town structure is difficult to correspond with changes in circumstances. In my opinion so as to correspond to changes in the particular situation, there will be needs for some flexible architectural and administrative and also legal systems to convert buildings and their contents. We should reconsider the planning theory.
