    Abstract
    Imagine trying to introduce urban growth management in a context where the average farm consists of several separate plots, and where landowners have inviolable rights to develop their land. In Japan, small projects do not need development permits or infrastructure connections. Moreover, until recently, the strongly pro-growth central government refused to allow local authorities to pass strict development-control ordinances. Accordingly, haphazard urban sprawl proliferated. This article describes the efforts of a small resort community in the mountains of central Japan to use public participation and voluntary constraints on development to implement a new approach.
     
    Est-il possible de mettre sur pied un plan de gestion de la croissance urbaine dans un milieu où une ferme est composée de plusieurs lots distincts et où un propriétaire foncier jouit du droit inviolable d'aménager sa terre ? Au Japon, les petits projets ne nécessitent ni permis ni infrastructure. De plus, jusqu'à tout récemment, le gouvernement, résolument orienté vers la croissance, refusait de permettre aux pouvoirs publics locaux de sanctionner des règlements sur l'aménagement, encourageant une croissance urbaine désordonnée. Un petit centre de villégiature dans les montagnes du pays a tenté une approche novatrice en encouragrant la participation publique et des restrictions volontaires en ce qui a trait au lotissement.
