Many cities are hollowing out due to the progress of motorization, population decline and aging. To revitalize local socio-economic activities and solve the current situation and problems of large cities, the creation of bustling towns is being studied repeatedly. In past studies, there are many studies that focus on commerce and pedestrian space maintenance. However, the analysis of public facilities is still insufficient. Many methods assume that there are no latent confounders. They do not work effectively if this assumption is not satisfied. Therefore, targeting cities in the Tokyo metropolitan area, we evaluated the location of each public facility around the four city centers of residence, administration, transportation, and commerce, and clarified the causal relationship between the location of public facilities and the liveliness of the city by causal discovery with latent confounders.
