    Designing Japan: 1. Introduction Japan invested heavily in road construction after World War II. After the war, Japan embarked on a project to build toll express- ways all over the country, spending a large proportion of its GDP The Ongoing to do so. Automobiles became more popular as the standard of liv- ing increased (Feldhoff 2007, p. 103). In 1956 the Japan Highway Public Corporation was founded, and this began the development Story of a Bypass of toll roads – mostly expressways -- across Japan (Road Bureau 2014). In the Tokyo area, the Metropolitan Expressway Corpo- ration was established in June 1959 in preparation for the 1964 Proposal Through Tokyo Olympics (Sorensen 2002, p. 192). After the bombings of World War II the road net-work in the a Historic Section Tokyo area still existed, so roads were initially rebuilt to follow this prewar pattern (Ichikawa 2003). Roads were then gradually widened and straightened. Often existing roads were widened dur- of Ushiku City, ing post-war land readjustment projects (Sorensen 2002, p. 160). In Tokyo, Aoyama Street and Roppongi Street were widened when 1 Japan hosted the Olympics in 1964 (Ichikawa 2003). Across Ja- Ibaraki Prefecture pan boulevards were built over 50 metres wide in large-sized cit- ies and over 35 metres wide in medium sized towns (Koshizawa 1991, pp. 200-201, and Nakamura 1986, p. 20, cited in Sorensen Tom Waldichuk Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Thompson 2002, p. 159).
