The re-emergence of Hiroshima’s city centre was driven by residents’ expectations find @koheitakeda.bsky.social and Atsushi Yamagishi

I am happy to share a new blog post in @voxeu.org on a work with Atsushi Yamagishi about how economies of agglomeration and coordination of people’s expectations are the keys to the resilience of a city. The evidence is from my hometown, Hiroshima.

Using data from Hiroshima, Kohei Takeda & Atsushi Yamagishi discuss how the resilience of cities in the face of large-scale shocks depends on the expectations of agents. Policymakers can play a key role by helping to coordinate expectations about recovery.

A map of the destruction of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. Cities have faced a host of shocks throughout history, including earthquakes, hurricanes, coastal flooding, and storm surges, as well as wartime destruction, such as in the current Russia-Ukraine conflict. This column looks at one of the most dramatic events in history, the atomic bombing of the city of Hiroshima in Japan, to explore the mechanisms that underlie the resilience of city structure. Strong agglomeration forces are required to explain the re-emergence of the city centre in the aftermath of the bombing, and they imply the existence of multiple equilibria. Public policymakers can play a key role in fostering the resilience of cities by helping to coordinate expectations about patterns of recovery.
