Dense lane network
Narrow residential streets cover most of the town. They form a tight, irregular mesh with many small blocks, typical of towns on the Nōbi plain.

The map
Kitagata is a town in Gifu Prefecture, central Japan, just west of the city of Gifu on the wide, flat Nōbi plain. It covers only a small area, so on the map it appears as a compact, densely built patch. Rice paddies and the wider suburbs of Gifu surround it on all sides.
Among architects the town is known for the Kitagata housing project. It is a public housing development for which several designers, including Kazuyo Sejima, created new apartment blocks around the turn of the century. On the ground it is an experiment in modern living; on the map it adds larger, more regular shapes to the fine grain of the town.
A Kitagata map poster shows a very Japanese pattern of land use. Small blocks of houses, narrow lanes, larger housing estates and a band of rice fields interlock on flat land with no clear centre. Printed in monochrome, the fine lattice of lanes and paddies makes an intricate, balanced image.
Narrow residential streets cover most of the town. They form a tight, irregular mesh with many small blocks, typical of towns on the Nōbi plain.
The Kitagata housing project and other apartment developments appear as larger, geometric blocks. They stand out clearly from the finer grain of detached houses.
Remaining rice fields surround and cut into the town. Their small, rectangular plots add a second, more regular pattern to the map.
