Narita New Town is a planned residential area to the west of Narita Station.
It has 16,000 homes with a total population of 60,000.
The area was designed in 1968 based on the new towns surrounding London in the UK, and now houses most of the city's population.
Many residents of the area are airport or airline workers: the new town houses corporate housing and dormitories for Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau and Japan Customs.
There are also several Urban Renaissance Agency and other government-subsidized housing projects in the area.
