High-Growth Hydrosphere: The Sakuma Dam and 'Comprehensive Development' Planning in Post-1945 Japan

Professor Eric Dinmore, Hampden-Sydney College, examines early postwar comprehensive development. He traces the genealogy of the 1950 Law on Comprehensive National Land Development, the law that refigured Japanese landscapes during the 1950s and early 1960s. The Sakuma Dam, he argues, illustrated the limitations of comprehensive development by primarily benefitting urban industrial centers, by failing to encourage rural revitalization and by upsetting the natural environment of the Tenryū River Valley. Tuesday, March 11, 4 p.m., Hale 450.
