- More about Toyota City in Transition: A Motor Town Facing Globalization and Social Changes
The book examines the city of Toyota in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, which is known for its automobile industry but faces challenges due to the upgrading of the Toyota Production System and widening class disparity. It compares survey data from 2009 and 2015 and performs fieldwork research in two communities that were once "new towns" to understand the present situation of this unusual industrial city.

Toyota City, located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, is a city that has attracted numerous jobseekers from distant rural areas since the 1960s. Despite its stable employment and settlement within local communities, the city is now facing challenges due to the upgrading of the Toyota Production System and widening class disparity. This book seeks to provide an understanding of the present situation of this unusual industrial city by comparing two sets of survey data from 2009 and 2015 and performing fieldwork research in two communities that once were "new towns". It also reveals a unique theoretical perspective that does not fit the mould of either the Chicago School or the new urban sociology.
