Japan's construction of skyscrapers during the economic bubble era has resulted in nearly 1,700 super tall buildings by the end of 2023, mainly concentrated in the three major metropolitan areas. The country's active promotion of urban renewal and redevelopment projects since 2000, especially in Tokyo, has led to high renovation costs, causing many residents to dislike living in high-rise buildings. In contrast, Kobe City has started to prohibit the construction of new residential high-rises in the city center due to population decline and aging, with experts emphasizing the need to balance urban and rural development to address these challenges.
