FORMATION OF URBAN TISSUES BY REPATRIATES NORTH OF GIFU STATION DURING POSTWAR RECONSTRUCTION

This paper analyzes the formation of urban tissues north of Gifu Station during postwar reconstruction, focusing on two row-type shop-house developments built by repatriates: “Dai-Harupin-gai Housing” (1947) and “Kōsei Housing” (1950). Through historical documentation and field surveys, the research reconstructs their original spatial and architectural configurations. It highlights a unique building-led development pattern where housing construction preceded urban infrastructure planning, significantly influenced by pre-war textile factory remnants.
