Problems erupt over rebuilding Kobe
□ People want to re
turn to to life as it was
before the earthquake.
KOBE, Japan (AP) — City
officials have a new vision for
earthquake-ravaged Kobe: Tear
down crowded, squat apart
ment buildings and businesses
and redevelop the area with
high-rise apartments, wide
roads and green parks.
For Akitoshi Yoshida, his
dream for the future is to return
to life the way it was before his
neighborhood was devastated by
the Jan. 17 earthquake.
Surveying the rubble of the
bathhouse he ran for 43 years,
Yoshida says all he wants is a
new bathhouse, built on the
site of the old one.
Hell give authorities the land,
throw away the pride of being
master of his own place, if only he
can once again stand at the door
and call out “Irasshaimase!” —
“Welcome!” — to people stopping
by for a hot bath.
“I’ll work for a monthly
salary,” said Yoshida, 65. “You
build it, I’ll work there.”
In Kobe and neighboring ar
eas ruined by the earthquake,
thousands like Yoshida dream
that life could somehow return
to the way it was.
City planners want to move
on, look ahead.
The emerging debate has high
lighted old and painful themes in
Japanese urban development.
Cities tend to be ugly, cramped
jumbles that give little sense of
planning. The powerful have his
torically dictated how cities are
built, with little initiative taken
by citizens.
Tetsuo Tamai, a city plan
ning historian at Chiba Univer
sity, said Japan still suffers
from the lingering mentality of
the medieval castle tow
whose shape would be dictaif
by the local baron.
“The people on top make tin
plans, and force the people::!
the bottom to live according'*
them,” Tamai said.
Finding a new way in Kol
will not be easy. Efforts toimpfcit
a new urban vision have not bee*
welcomed so far. Protests broil*
