Shibuya City 渋 渋谷区 Shibuya City Chapter 1 1Shibuya City Urban Characteristics Shibuya City Urban Characteristics and Roles The Present In consideration of plans for the industry and tourism sectors to make Shibuya City a mature, international city, it is important to first identify its current urban characteristics. With this in mind, the Japan Power Cities index (Mori Memorial Foundation) was used for analysis. Japan Power Cities analyzes the main cities 1 of Japan including the 23 wards of Tokyo in the six functions of city power The Present of Shibuya City (Economy & Business, Research and Development, Cultural Interaction, Daily Life & Livability, Environment, and Accessibility) and 83 indicators identifying the Industry and Tourism strengths and weaknesses of cities. In the total score for the 23 wards of Tokyo, the survey ranks Shibuya City in fifth place overall, fourth place in the functions of Economy & Business, Cultural Interaction, and Accessibility, and fifth place in Daily Life & Livability, whereas it ranks low in ninth place for Research & Development (see figure at top and table at bottom of p. 9). Furthermore, when narrowing down the viewpoints for industry and tourism and looking at the deviation scores in each indicator group, groups such as Business Vitality, Business Environment, and Financial Affairs in Economy & Business are ranked highly as shown in the figure on the top of page ten. Even among these areas, indicators such as Ratio of New Businesses and Density of Flexible Workplaces are strong (see table on bottom of p. 10). Also, as shown in the figure in the middle of page ten, in Cultural Interaction, groups such as Volume of Interaction, Volume of Communication, and Intangible Resources are strengths. In particular indicators such as Weekend Visitor Population, Volume of People Visiting for Tourism or Sightseeing, and Workers in Creative Industries (see p. 45) are ranked particularly high (see table on bottom of p. 10). Shibuya City - A Superb Business Environment and Spot for Tirelessly Creating Unique Culture With this data in mind, one can see that Shibuya City is a great place for launching new businesses, it offers a business environment for diverse working styles, and tirelessly creates appealing new culture, all factors that contribute to attracting many people. In order to expand its power as a city in the future, Shibuya must further bolster its unique strengths and characteristics, as well as maintain and push forward its diverse values and environment for attracting creative types. In line with this, the Economy & Business indicator group of Intra-regional Gross Expenditure and Cultural Interaction indicators of Active Approach to Scenic Town Planning, Number and Rating of Events, and Number of Accommodation Facilities must be improved (see table on bottom of p. 10). Also, it is important to undertake initiatives with other related indicators in mind such as Garbage Problems and Security and Safety. This chapter covers the Present of Shibuya City through Enhancing the city power of Shibuya will help improve the ranking of Tokyo in an analysis of industry and tourism data and input from international inter-city competitiveness even after the Olympic and Paralympic experts, identifying the characteristics, current status, and Games. This role falls upon Shibuya City (see p. 11). challenges of the city. 8 Shibuya City ■〇〇〇〇〇〇分野別ランキング：2019（2018） Shibuya City Characteristics Among 23 Wards of Tokyo 4th "Japan Power Cities 2019" Economy & Business 70 4th 61 9th Shibuya City Deviation Score and Rank by Function Research & Concept ■ Accessibility 50 Development 30 60 47 10 40 63 20th 4th Cultural Environment Interaction 61 ■指標グループ別偏差値 5th Daily Life & Livability ■Shibuya City Indicator Group Deviation Score Ease of Mobility Economic Scale The Present E ility con Employment and Human Resources City Accessibility sib om es y & cc 70 B ■〇〇〇〇〇〇分野別ランキング：2019（2018） A us Diversity of Human Resources Inner-City Transport in e s s 50 t Business Vitality Comfortability n e m n Business Environment Natural Environment o 30 r i v 4位（4位） D n R e Financial Affairs E Environmental Performance v e 10 経 済・ビ ジ ネ ス e s e l o a p r Academic Resources m Lifestyle Affluence Economy / c h e & Business n t Living Facilities Research Achievement 70 Tangible Resources Living Environment 60.8 4位D （4位） 9位（8位） a il n Intangible Resources Civil Life and Welfare 交 通・アy ク セ ス io 研 究・開 発 L 50 t i c fe ra Traffic / access & te ResearchAttractiveness / to Visitors Childcare and Education L In iva al Development bi 30tur 59.6lity Cul Volume of Interaction Health and Medical Care 46.6 Volume of Communication Security and Safety 10 2019 Indicator Group Deviation Score The Future Deviation Score 50 Line 40.0 62.5 20位（19位） 4位（5位） 環境 文 化・交 流 Environment 61.3 Culture / ■Rank by Function Communication Research & Economy & Business Cultural Interaction Daily Life & Livability Environment Accessibility Total Score Development 5位（4位） City Score City Score City Score City Score 生 活・居City 住 Score City Score City Score Chiyoda Chiyoda Life / Residence 1 City 437 1 Bunkyo City 86 1 Minato City 216 1 City 375 1 Koto City 144 1 Chuo City 225 1 Chiyoda City 1,410 Shinjuku Chiyoda Chiyoda 2 Minato City 397 2 City 75 2 City 194 2 Chuo City 370 2 Chuo City 141 2 City 220 2 Minato City 1,353 Shinjuku Edogawa 3 Chuo City 346 3 Meguro City 69 3 City 179 3 Bunkyo City 342 3 City 128 3 Minato City 209 3 Chuo City 1,248 Shibuya Minato City Shibuya Minato City Minato City Shibuya Shinjuku City 4 City 313 4 66 4 City 175 4 338 4 128 4 City 204 4 1,160 Appendices Shinjuku Chiyoda Taito City Shibuya Chiyoda Shinagawa 5 City 286 5 City 58 5 171 5 City 337 5 City 127 5 City 202 5 Shibuya City 1,139 Shibuya Shibuya -

  • Shibuya City Industry and Tourism Vision
    渋谷区 Shibuya City Preface Preface In October 2016, Shibuya City established the Shibuya City Basic Concept with the goal of becoming a mature international city on par with London, Paris, and New York. The goal is to use diversity as a driving force, with our vision of the future: 'Shibuya—turning difference into strength'. One element of the Basic Concept is setting a direction for the Shibuya City Long-Term Basic Plan of 'A city with businesses unafraid to take risks', which is a future vision of industry and tourism unique to Shibuya City. Each area in Shibuya City has its own unique charm with a collection of various businesses and shops, and a great number of visitors from inside Japan and overseas, making it a place overflowing with diversity. With the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games being held this year, 2020 is our chance for Shibuya City to become a mature international city. In this regard, I believe we must make even further progress in industry and tourism policies for the future of the city. To accomplish this, I believe a plan that further details the policies in the Long-Term Basic Plan is necessary, which is why the Industry and Tourism Vision has been established. Industry and tourism in Shibuya City faces a wide range of challenges that must be tackled, including environmental improvements and safety issues for accepting inbound tourism and industry. In order to further revitalize the shopping districts and small to medium sized businesses in the city, I also believe it is important to take on new challenges such as building a startup ecosystem and nighttime economy.

  • Subcentres and Satellite Cities: Tokyo's 20Th Century Experience Of
    International Planning Studies, Vol. 6, No. 1, 9–32, 2001 Subcentres and Satellite Cities: Tokyo’s 20th Century Experience of Planned Polycentrism ANDRE´ SORENSEN Department of Urban Engineering, University of Tokyo, Hasamagaoka 3–25–3, Sanda-shi, Hyogo-ken, Japan 669–1545 ABSTRACT This paper examines the role of subcentres and satellite cities in the patterns of growth of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, rst outlining the development of metropolitan planning ideas for the Tokyo region from the 1920s to the 1990s, and then examining empirical evidence on patterns of population and employment change that occurred from 1970 to 1995 to determine the degree to which a polycentric pattern of growth has emerged. Japanese planners initially adopted European greenbelt/satellite city schemes uncritically, and then gradually adapted them to circumstances in Japan, eliminating the greenbelt concept along the way. Metropolitan plans have since the 1970s instead proposed the development of a multi-polar metropolitan region as a way of reducing travel needs and distances while eliminating the need to prevent development in intervening areas. The data on patterns of change of population and employment suggests that there has indeed been a considerable tendency towards polycentric development in the Tokyo region, although not only in the planned subcentres, and even though the core area has maintained or increased its dominance as an employment centre. The implications of these ndings are then explored. Introduction One of the dominant issues of 20th-century planning was the question, already rmly on the agenda at the end of the 19th century, of what to do about the growth of very large metropolitan regions.
