Comprehensive National Development Plan is a fundamental plan for the use, development and conservation of the land of Japan. It defines the directions for constructing infrastructure for housing, cities, roads, airports, and so forth.
Since the first plan in 1962, five plans have been formulated by March 1998. These plans have successfully ensured balanced development of national land.
