Construction starts in FY 1990 covered a total area of about 283 million square meters, with about 134 square meters exclusively for housing. Total construction costs were estimated in excess of ¥49 billion. Although demand for new private housing was expected to grow in the 1990s, even greater growth was expected for new urban office buildings. A number of large projects were underway, suggesting that the construction industry would experience continued growth throughout the 1990s. These include projects for Tokyo's waterfront and other urban redevelopment, Highway construction, and new or expanded Airport s. Japan's construction technology, which includes advanced Earthquake-resistant Design s, is among the most developed in the world. Major firms compete to improve quality control over all phases of design, management, and execution. Research and development focuses especially on energy-related facilities, such as Nuclear Power Plant s and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) storage tanks. The largest firms are also improving their Underwater Construction methods. SEE ALSO
