The provision of public services by local government involves many aspects of society, politics, and economy. Recently, human geographers have come to focus on the concept of state intervention, especially on the political and economic role of central and local govern ment, which has been stimulated by a growing concern for the debate of social theory. Making use of this intellectual stimulus, this analysis aims to develop a macro-theoretical, historical, and concrete approach in order to clarify the structure and pattern of municipal expenditure during prewar Japan before 1945. Taking into consideration the theoretical pluralism which realism implies, this analysis attempts to encompass several bodies of theories such as a materialist conception of the role of state and the outcome of the studies of public service. Within the structure and the process of municipal government intervention in urban devel opment under Japanese capitalism, this study demonstrates the overwhelmingly energetic intervention into the construction of an urban built environment by the initiative of the six major metropolitan municipal governments. It also demonstrates both general and local specific features of the municipal government intervention of the other cities.
