AB - Goto Shinpei is so important for the development of the modern city in Japan that he has been called ‘the father of Japanese modern urban planning’. This article is to examine his notion of the city and urban planning in relation to the development of modern urban planning in Japan, and understand their natures. Above all, Goto’s notion of city and urban planning was founded upon the biological rules and the principles of autonomy. While this greatly attributed to his career’s uniqueness that his social life had begin with as a doctor, it was markedly distinguished from other modern urban planners who accentuated the efficiency and the functionality in their view of city. However his biological rules were basically built on the evolutionist thought of natural selection, and so the unconditional substitution of it to society led to the colonialist thought logically. Consequently, his recognition of class distinction within the human nature had been laid out as his view of colonial management, as it was confirmed evidently in his government policies on Taiwan. Also, Goto’s urban planning was focused on the improvement of infrastructure as its implementation. In this respect, he had shared basically the design of modern urban planning that emphasized on the efficiency and the functionality as welll, even though he showed the different features from his contemporary planners in his biological rules.
