Abstract
A new-thinking paradigm in economics is first briefly discussed. Then a history of postwar industrial-age community development in Japan is reviewed with a focus on the recent government policy to reactivate lo cal communities. And some new-thinking traits that have been observed in these community developments are discussed. Finally, using this new -thinking economic paradigm several suggestions are made for the advan cement of community development in Japan.
