Agricultural cities have a potential as a future cities because it form the industrial cities, consumption cities, and recreation cities together and create a compact community. A distinct urban system should exist between those cities which made it necessary to create the basic plan for the future expansion.
The basic rural area unit in Japan is 500 square meter community centered around a shrine which create a single village for 200 people. The village are subdivide into 5x5 100 square meter on the ground and above the ground connected by storage unit’s ramp. School, collective area, roads, storages, water, electricity, and other facilities are installed 15 meter above the ground to prevent the future flood. The monorails are the public transportation that connects each village together. Some of the unit has a void which allows the land below to be able to plant something because the sun and rain can directly get to the land.
The basic living unit has a mushroom shape-like, each unit has one to three storied structure with a wooden frame and translucent fabric. The center of the house has a facilities shaft that connects to the living quarters and other facilities such as bathroom, kitchen, etc. The land below compose of many types of agricultural land and greenhouse depend on the above unit whether the above unit is a land or void.
