Although there were applicable laws and promotion policies, cases of urban renewal were mostly performed by private sectors. Accordingly, only small areas with limited public welfare projects were accomplished. For those areas such as financially weak communities and houses built with sea sand mixed concrete, urban renewal projects were very rare since such projects require authorities and operations from local governments. This study focuses on the difficulties encountered by the local governments in conducting large-scale urban renewal projects which are performed by private sectors. The “Roppongi 6-chome Redevelopment Project” in Japan which took 17 years to complete was deeply studied. Key success factors of the project along with highlights in relevant laws and regulations evolved in the 50 years history in Japan were identified. Experts from the developers, government officers, and scholars were also interviewed to confirm findings of this research and to obtain valuable suggestions. The study concludes that the main difficulties in promoting large scale urban renewal projects are selection of renewal area, selection of project executor, and proper right transfer at the final stage of the project. Suggestions of the research results are: (1) the renewal area should combine with public and private properties in which incentives in volume rate for the later one should be emphasized, (2) legal entities and task forces should be conducted by the local and central governments to help process and promote the projects, and (3) the government should promise the project executor at the right transfer stage enough floor areas that are sufficient to compensate the costs of the renewal project.
