History
↓↓
Housing complexes in Japan, known as danchi, were developed primarily after World War II to address housing shortages caused by rapid urbanization. The first large-scale danchi projects appeared in the 1950s and 1960s, featuring modern, uniform apartment buildings with shared amenities. They provided affordable housing for working families and contributed to community building. Today, many danchi continue to house residents, though some are aging, and they remain significant in urban planning and social history.
