The creative city policies have been attracting worldwide attention as a strategy for regenerating cities since the 2000s. This study focuses on three cities, Yokohama, which adopted a creative city policy in 2004, Kanazawa, which was registered in the UNESCO creative cities network in 2009, and Hamamatsu, which called itself as a creative city since 2007 and joined with the UNESCO network in 2014. This study revealed that: Yokohama City, without historical background of a feudal city, utilizes contemporary art in order to regeneration of the central waterfront area; Kanazawa City as a typical traditional city aims to revitalize through protecting local traditional crafts and reserving historical townscape; and Hamamatsu City, having a major instrument industry as one of its economic base, makes an attempt to adapt to deindustrialization by promoting the city as a town of music.

Detroit is a typical shrinking city at the post-industrial age. The urban social systems (governance) that are promorting urban regeneration could be pointed through studying the background of shrinkage and the forms of today.
In Detroit the city government has not worked well in the urban regeneration, and the networks among institutions(universities, hospitals and so on), companies and foundations are working better and playing important roles there.
At the same time small-size companies are born and changing the landscape of Detroit.

Since the 2000's, the creative city policy has been attracting worldwide attention as a strategy for regenerating cities that have been declined with globalization and deindustrialization. This study focuses on the city of Yokohama, which adopted a creative city policy in 2004, examining the causes and aims of that policy and the actual processes of its implementation and evaluating its achievements and remaining problems.
The objectives of the policy are to attract artists and designers, to form a cluster of the creative industry and to reshape the waterfront of downtown area. The processes of the policy implementation reveal that the agenda of the creative city is characterized by urban design, having a weakness in industrial policy and civic involvement, and diminishing its spatial perspective due to the reorganization of public administration.

The purpose of this research is to make clear social system of governance which promotes community regeneration. I pick up three types of community governance, one is govrnment-lead type of governance, market-oriented type of community governance, citizen-lead type of governance. I conclude that networking of each voluntary organization, the role of intermediary organization, supportive urban policy, asset maganegent of public lands and buildings are very important to promote community governance.

Now some voluntary actions for sufferers which started with Hanshin-Awaji earthquake continue for fifteen years or more. These actions don't keep the invariable form of organization and don't keep the uniform activity. The volunteers change with social situations. The keys of the reformation of organization are the firm mission to support object person's "life" and the intention to try to find out their needs completely. It became clear that the formation of organization was the way to serve the client's needs.

Citizen-led urban regeneration enterprises in Asia including Japan tend to form "the closed governance model aiming for the common good" which our research has proposed as one type of urban governance, compared with the enterprises in Western. To be "the open governance model aiming for the public good" which is another type of urban governance, Asian social enterprises need to get organizational independence and an equal relationship with the government and market sectors. Urban government policy is a key factor for them to manage the local assets and to develop intermediary support organizations.
