〈Articles〉The Brief Outline of the Chubu Region Scheme and the Construction of Automobile Expressway

publisher【概要】本稿の主たる課題は, 首都圏, 近畿圏に次ぐ第3の広域経済圏としての中部圏構想の確立過程および最も重要視された南北交通の開発過程をあとづけることにある。資料的限界はつきまとうが, 前者では, 中部圏構想の理念や中部圏づくりで活躍する4人の群像などにも言及し, 実行段階に入った1970年代初頭の1都市整備区域,13都市開発区域の課題などを点描する。当初の中部圏基本開発整備計画は, 時代の変化の中で数次の改定を余儀なくされる。後者の南北交通は, 東海北陸自動車道を取り上げる。全通までに半世紀近くに及んだことや開通前後の状況にも少しふれる。最後に, 東西交通となるが, 「伊勢湾時代」の大規模プロジェクトである伊勢湾大橋・伊勢湾口道路建設計画の顛末を瞥見する。 【Abstract】 The main theme of this paper is the effect on trade caused by the process of establishing the Chubu Region Scheme as the third broad economic area in Japan followed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and the Osaka Metropolitan District and along with the process of constructing a North-South highway that was considered most important. Although the primary source documents are numbered, the former topic refers to the philosophy of the Chubu Region Scheme and four people who played an active role in establishing the Chubu Region and also describes the subjects of one urban improvement area and 13 urban development areas that reached the implementation stage in the beginning of the 1970's. Over time it became absolutely necessary to revise several points of the Chub Region Basic Development and Improvement Plan. The latter was the topic concerning the building of a North-South highway, the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway. This topic makes reference to the fact that it took almost a half-century to open the entire length of the road and mentions the circumstances before and after the opening the road. Lastly, the entire story of the construction projects of the Isewan Bridge and Ise Bay Crossing Road, large scale projects in "Ise Bay Era" is looked at briefly, although these were East-West traffic routes
