This paper raises issues of housing supply programs after disasters and compares how Japan, Turkey, and Mexico have supplied newly constructed housing after disasters directly through public organizations. The study results indicate that the planning schemes of these three countries differ in terms of their restoration effects on the cities. This paper also discusses problems involved in the public provision of housing in Japan.
