In Japan, as elsewhere, cities became the staging ground for wide ranging social, cultural, economic, and political transformations. The rise of social problems, the formation of a consumer marketplace, the proliferation of streetcars and streetcar suburbs, and the cascade of investments in urban development reinvented the city as both socio-spatial form and set of ideas. Young tells this story through the optic of the provincial city, examining four second-tier cities: Sapporo, Kanazawa, Niigata, and Okayama. As prefectural capitals, these cities constituted centers of their respective regions. All four grew at an enormous rate in the interwar decades, much as the metropolitan giants did. In spite of their commonalities, local conditions meant that policies of national development and the vagaries of the business cycle affected individual cities in diverse ways. As their differences reveal, there is no single master narrative of twentieth century modernization. By engaging urban culture beyond the metropolis, this study shows that Japanese modernity was not made in Tokyo and exported to the provinces, but rather co-constituted through the circulation and exchange of people and ideas throughout the country and beyond. 410 0$aStudies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute 606 $aUrbanization$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y1912-1945 607 $aJapan$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xHistory$y1912-1945 610 $a1930s. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aasia. 610 $aasian history. 610 $aculture. 610 $aeast asia. 610 $aeconomic changes. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aideological structures. 610 $aindividual cities. 610 $ainterwar period japan. 610 $ajapan social history. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese history. 610 $akanazawa. 610 $amodernization. 610 $anational development. 610 $aniigata. 610 $aokayama. 610 $apolitical transformation. 610 $apolitical transformations. 610 $aprefectural capitals. 610 $aregional interest. 610 $asapporo. 610 $asocial problems. 610 $asocial transformation. 610 $asociology. 610 $aurban areas. 610 $aurban culture. 610 $aurban development. 610 $aurban history. 610 $aurbanism. 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory 676 $a307.760952 700 $aYoung$b Louise$f1960-$01014804 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786228303321 996 $aBeyond the metropolis$93794277 997 $aUNINA
