Abstract: To complement an existing landscape guideline, a collection of townscape scenes for Kamakura’s Komachi-dori shopping street was developed through a combination of a university urban planning studio and a series of participatory workshops. The process successfully facilitated participants’ discussions based on students’ proposals of townscape scenes. The final output consisted of 10 current townscape characteristics and 14 design implications. Feedback collected from questionnaires given at exhibition and workshop, as well as interviews with key stakeholders, indicated highly favorable evaluations of the townscape scenes regarding their visual representations and design implications and the collaborative process involving students and local stakeholders.
