New expectations are discussed along with an underlining of their trends and challenges. The important question in Japan's post-industrial situation is, whether there should be the continued emphasis on economic market oriented development or there should be a shift in favor of welfare oriented development. New urban life-styles have heightened the demand for personal freedom and safety. At the same time, most social and psychological disorders that we see in cities may have important roots in the levels of inward satisfaction one gets through work, living and interacting with the community. The aspect of inward satisfaction, in some ways if not all, is related to inequality or equity issues in society.}, pages = {127--145}, title = {What Next for Japan's Cities?
