Description

 This study aims to investigate the urban history and thoughts of city planning in Otsu in the 1920-30s, clarifying the concept of “Tourist City” and concrete ideas of road network and lake reclamation plan of Otsu, and its planning process. The summary and achievements of the study are as below. Otsu city and Shiga prefecture attempted to realize lake reclamation and lakeside promenade several times in the 1910-1920s. Then Otsu city held up a concept of “Tourist City” as a main aim of city planning in the latter half of the 1920s. The plan for the city of Otsu including road network and lake reclamation determined in 1932 was intended to connect tourist sites and build recreational facilities, and improve the scenic beauty of the lakeside. Lake reclamation of Otsu city was realized partially in prewar times by selling municipal reclaimed land, and the lake promenade was constructed before 1960s even though a large part of the promenade lacked its original aims. Otsu city had carried out these infrastructure construction projects by the long-term collaboration with Shiga Prefecture.
