Abstract: Let $mathfrakD$ be the space consists of pairs $(f,g)$, where $f$ is a univalent function on the unit disc with $f(0)=0$, $g$ is a univalent function on the exterior of the unit disc with $g(infty)=infty$ and $f^{\prime }(0)g^{\prime }(infty)=1$. In this article, we define the time variables $$, on $mathfrakD$ which are holomorphic with respect to the natural complex structure on $mathfrakD$ and can serve as local complex coordinates for $mathfrakD$. We show that the evolutions of the pair $(f,g)$ with respect to these time coordinates are governed by the dispersionless Toda hierarchy flows. An explicit tau function is constructed for the dispersionless Toda hierarchy. By restricting $mathfrakD$ to the subspace $Sigma$ consists of pairs where $$, we obtain the integrable hierarchy of conformal mappings considered by Wiegmann and Zabrodin cite{WZ}. Since every $C^1$ homeomorphism $gamma$ of the unit circle corresponds uniquely to an element $(f,g)$ of $mathfrakD$ under the conformal welding $gamma=g^{-1}circf$, the space $ext{Homeo}_C(S^1)$ can be naturally identified as a subspace of $mathfrakD$ characterized by $f(S^1)=g(S^1)$. We show that we can naturally define complexified vector fields $$ on $ext{Homeo}_C(S^1)$ so that the evolutions of $(f,g)$ on $ext{Homeo}_C(S^1)$ with respect to $p{a}_n$ satisfy the dispersionless Toda hierarchy. Finally, we show that there is a similar integrable structure for the Riemann mappings $(f^{-1},g^{-1})$. Moreover, in the latter case, the time variables are Fourier coefficients of $gamma$ and $1/gamm{a}^{-1}$.
