  • Jr East Group Csr Report 2014
    Society JR EAST GROUP CSR REPORT 2014 Special Initiatives to Enhance the Value of Areas Along Topic 5 our Railway Lines Chuo Line Mall We are promoting the Chuo Line Mall Project for utilization of the space under elevated railway tracks between Mitaka and Tachikawa Stations on the Chuo Line. This is part of an overall aim to develop lineside area brands that will be chosen by customers, as part of a project constructing a series of railway overpasses that will unify towns. Looking at a railway line and the area alongside it as a unit rather than just as“points” (stations), we are promoting development that is based on the concept of“connecting greenery, people and towns”. By doing so, we aim to establish a lineside“brand” as an area where customers want to live, and this will enhance the value of areas along the railway line. Suicle The JR East Group operates“Suicle,” a bicycle sharing system using Suica, with goals such as increasing the flow of people in towns, regional revitalization and contributing to becoming a low carbon society. Bicycles are based at facilities under the elevated Chuo Line tracks adjacent to Musashi-Sakai Station and Higashi-Koganei Station, and ports have been installed outside the station area, where bicycles can be dropped off. In this manner, the bicycles have become community bicycles. This system run by East Japan Marketing & Communications, Inc. began on November 3, 2013 and has already been expanded to serve three locations. COTONIOR “COTONIOR” is a facility providing both child and senior citizen care under one roof as recommended by the JR East Group.

  • Kanda Town Before and After the Superimposed Elevated Railway
    3 CHAPTER THREE: CASE STUDY – KANDA TOWN BEFORE AND AFTER THE SUPERIMPOSED ELEVATED RAILWAY Inhabited viaduct architecture in Tokyo 91 January, 2012 3.1 WHY FOCUS ON KANDA AREA? Kanda as a neighborhood – Kanda ward goes back to early Edo times and therefore has a n established history and tradition. I selected Kanda as a focus area of my research for the following reasons: • History: Kanda has a history of almost 500 years going back to the beginning of Edo era. • Urban density: Kanda represent an area which was already quite dense prior to the construction of the viaduct. The superimposed infrastructure cut through the neighborhood and therefore drastically changed the urban fabric, the loot and the adjacent building. and therefore Figure 149 - the viaduct running through dense Kanda • The street grid: By the time of the construction of the viaducts, Kanda already had a fixed urban system of an orthogonal street grid which was aggressively cut by the diagonal direction of the viaducts. • Two lines – two distinct viaducts: Kanda’s viaducts were built in two phases – 1st part the Chuo line - a brick arched structure running along the west side and later the Yamanote viaduct – a concrete and steel structure running along the east side. Figure 150 - Kanda Meiji Era Figure 151 - Knada's viaducts west (left image) and east (right image) Inhabited viaduct architecture in Tokyo 92 January, 2012 3.2 HISTORY OF KANDA The Origin of the name "Kanda" 1st Theory: There are shinryous (or property owned by the shrine) of Ise Jingu (the Ise shrine) throughout the country.
