 note = {This article investigates the compact city policy in Toyama City by examining two considerations. First, we determine the effect of the residence promotion schemes that are an essential factor of Toyama City’s compact city policy using push-pull factor analysis. We determine that people may have moved to the residence promotion district because of the lifecycle events of marriage, childbirth, and childcare. Second, considering this assumption, we then calculate the actual effect of the scheme, applying statistical approaches such as difference-in-differences, in particular examining the number of primary and junior high schools. We find that the actual changes in population represent a 12% to 16% increase comparing non-residence promotion and residence promotion districts, both before and after the scheme’s implementation. Our results indicate that the compact city policy scheme has a concrete effect in both the short and long term, although some research problems and limitations remain for future investigation. Thus, we conclude that the scheme has succeeded in making Toyama City a compact city, although it does not satisfy the requirements for being a sustainable city.},
