Owing to the situation, improvement of the infrastructure such as water supply and sewage systems and pavement of the roads in urban districts were delayed so badly that it was said: I became aware I was entering Kyoto when I saw the roads and sewage.
この影響で、都市部の上下水道等のインフラストラクチャー整備や道路の舗装は大幅に遅れ、「道路や下水道の様子を見ると京都に入ったのがわかる。」と揶揄されるほどであった。
