  • Elements of the Ubranscape in Tokyo
    Teka Kom. Arch. Urb. Stud. Krajobr. – OL PAN, 2012, VIII/1, 75-92 ELEMENTS OF THE UBRANSCAPE IN TOKYO Ewa Maria Kido CTI Engineering Co., Ltd. Consulting Engineers, 2-15-1 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Tokyo Metropolis (Tōkyō-to) of 13 mln people, crowded, colored, noisy, made of very freely designed buildings, with railway loop line separating the inner center from the outer center – from one side is similar to other large metropolises in Japan, and from another – being a capitol and having the Imperial Palace as its symbolical center, is unique. This article discusses elements of urbanscape, such as transportation infrastructure – roads and railways; junctions and city centers – neighborhoods; urban interiors – streets and squares; border lines and belts – rivers, parks; do- minant urban structures, outstanding elements – landmarks, and characteristic sights, that contrib- ute to aesthetic appeal of the landscape of Tokyo. The conclusion is that although both European cities and Tokyo have well-functioning centers, as well as sub-centers of the polycentric metropo- lises, their forms are differing because they reflect local urban planning, aesthetics, and culture. Key words: urbanscape, urban planning, Tokyo, elements of urbanscape, urban landscape INTRODUCTION Urban landscape is a combination of a city’s form and contents that includes natural and built environment. As an outcome of urban and landscape design, it involves arrangement and functioning of cities, with particular focus on architec- ture, infrastructure and green zones. Design of urban space has become increas- ingly important for the long-term development and well-being of urban commu- nities, and can provide cities with a unique identity.

  • Station Building) and Its Relation with Surrounding Land Value
    Ekibiru (Station Building) and its relation with surrounding land value Thesis COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning By Shuran Chen May, 2015 Abstract Japan’s railroad stations, called Ekibiru 駅ビル(Station Building), are not only the place for commuters to take train and/or subway but also the destination for people to shop, dine and spend time with friend and family, offices for workers and hotels for travelers. In Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Majority of railroad companies, including former public-owned now privatized East Japan Railway Company, Tokyo Metro, Tokyu Dentetsu, are enjoying profits.1 Study also shows that the latest Class A buildings have the tendency to be connected to railroad station and are mixed-use of office and commercial. 2 The study aims to gain a better understanding of whether or not Ekibiru (Station with mixed-use right on the top) has correlation with surrounding land value by using “before and after” land value data of 116 station areas and the ward that station located in. The result shows that while there are tendency that Ekibiru area has higher land value than Ward or City average compared with Station area without Ekibiru, there cannot be seen clear correlation between Ekibiru renovation and its effect on surrounding land value. 1 Railroad Sector Ordinary Profit Ranking (Heisei 24 (2012) – Heisei 25 (2013)), 業界 search.com 2 Real Estate Investment Report November 2012, Nissei Research 目次 Introduction ...................................................................................... 4 Definition ................................................................................................ 4 Background .............................................................................................. 4 Hypothesis and Research Question ............................................................ 6 Methodology, process and Data .........................................................
