- Abstract
- The history of the Japanese construction industry is remarkable in its development over the last centruy, as it experienced steady growth during the years following the start of the Maiji restoration period. During World Wars I and II, the industry came to a standstill, but since 1945 has grown rapidly due to heavy investment by the government, private enterprise, and the United States as part of the restoration process.
