The cities of developed countries have been through highly population centralization and development. Under the impacts of “vehicle society” and “back to rural life” , the problems of suburbanization and town centers emptiness emerge gradually. Since U.S.A. ‘ U.K ‘ Japan and Germany all are the representative nations of industrialization and urbanization, the cities problems of these four countries are relatively serious and people there have perceived those problems deeply. However, the historical background and thinking philosophy among those four countries are different, so the relevant countermeasures and residents willing are extremely different. This study focus on the discussion of the circumstances and reasons of suburbanization and town centers emptiness of four countries above to further investigate the philosophy and background of each country. We hope to induct a whole theory about town centers revitalization, and some suggestions will be provided as reference while government draw up the countermeasures of town centers revitalization.
