Considering the situation after the Great East Japan Earthquake, it is necessary to reconsider urban planning. It is not always possible to set a rational target image in anticipation of the future. If so, it is unreasonable for such uncertain plans without rationality to limit the freedom of movement of individuals. Urban planning that realizes a better condition than the current one by regulations and projects is established by restricting freedom of movement in principle. But freedom of movement has a significant impact on the lives of individuals. Therefore, tentative idea for further improvements of our environment should be presented. Namely the principle of freedom of movement as a norm should be put side by side with the current urban planning.
