近来越来越明显的是，“城市缩水”是一个世界性的持续现象，日本也不例外。正如框架文章所显示的那样，城市萎缩的特征与每个国家的社会、文化、政治和经济条件以及历史交织在一起。这些特点还影响到每个国家有关“城市缩小”命题的论述框架。在日本，一个拥有强大中央政府的国家，国家政策倾向于主导地方政策，自第二次世界大战以来的大部分时间里，一个强大的政党控制着国会，缩小的城市话语和政策往往与德国和美国的不同，尽管缩小的现实有相当大的相似性。本文旨在研究日本城市缩小和人口萎缩的现实是如何在学术和公共话语中被解释和认同的，以及这些解释是如何被转移到政策上的，反之亦然，为下文中出现的日本、德国和美国的话语和政策的比较讨论提供了一个框架。
It has recently become apparent that “shrinking city” is a worldwide ongoing phenomenon, and Japan is no exception. As the framing article has shown, the features of urban shrinkage are interwoven with the social, cultural, political and economic conditions and history of each country. Those characteristics also affect the framing of each country's discourse relating to the “shrinking city” proposition. In Japan, a country with a strong central government where national policy tends to dominate local policy, and where a single strong political party has controlled the Diet for most of the years since World War II, shrinking city discourse and policy tend to differ from that in Germany and the United States despite considerable similarity in the reality of shrinkage.This paper aims to examine how Japanese shrinking cities and the reality of population shrinkage have been interpreted and identified in the academic and public discourse, and how those interpretations have been transferred to policy or vice versa, providing a framework for the comparative discussion of discourse and policy in Japan, Germany and United States that appears in the following article.
