  • Urban Reform and Shrinking City Hypotheses on the Global City Tokyo
    Urban Reform and Shrinking City Hypotheses on the Global City Tokyo Hiroshige TANAKA Professor of Economic Faculty in Chuo University, 742-1Higashinakano Hachioji city Tokyo 192-0393, Japan. Chiharu TANAKA1 Manager, Mitsubishi UFJ Kokusai Asset Management Co.,Ltd.,1-12-1 Yurakucho, Chiyodaku, Tokyo 100-0006, Japan. Abstract The relative advantage among industries has changed remarkably and is expected to bring the alternatives of progressive and declining urban structural change. The emerging industries to utilize ICT, AI, IoT, financial and green technologies foster the social innovation connected with reforming the urban structure. The hypotheses of the shrinking city forecast that the decline of main industries has brought the various urban problems including problems of employment and infrastructure. But the strin- gent budget restriction makes limit the region on the social and market system that the government propels the replacement of industries and urban infrastructures. By developing the two markets model of urban structural changes based on Tanaka (1994) and (2013), we make clear theoretically and empirically that the social inno- vation could bring spreading effects within the limited area of the region, and that the social and economic network structure prevents the entire region from corrupting. The results of this model analysis are investigated by moves of the municipal average income par taxpayer of the Tokyo Area in the period of 2011 to 2014 experimentally. Key words: a new type of industrial revolution, shrinking city, social innovation, the connectivity of the Tokyo Area, urban infrastructures. 1.

  • 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.

  • GIS-Based Visualization of Tokyo's Urban History
    GIS-Based Visualization of Tokyo's Urban History Dr. Loren Siebert Department of Geography and Planning University of Akron ([email protected]) Abstract: With the rise of interest in "temporal GIS" over the last decade, the use of geographic information systems to document, visualize, and interpret the history of urban regions has become more common. The temporal GIS project presented here is a "GIS spatial history of Tokyo" covering spatial patterns and changes in Japan's capital region over the last 130 years. Historical topographic maps, census data, administrative histories, rail company chronologies, and other spatiotemporal data were used to produce a multifaceted GIS database that includes: changes in physical features such as shorelines, rivers, and canals; the process of urbanization as represented by annexations, mergers, and upgrading of administrative areas from village to town, city, or city ward; population changes mapped by administrative area; development of the region's extensive rail network; and mapping of historical landscape units. Keywords: temporal GIS, spatial history, historical visualization, Tokyo, Japan Notes: This paper first appeared in the Proceedings of the Computers in Urban Planning and Urban Management (CUPUM 2001) Conference held at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in July 2001. Those proceedings were distributed on CD-ROM. Page numbering used here in the Adobe PDF file is different than that used in the CUPUM 2001 proceedings. Colors used in the maps were optimized for printing on an Epson Color Stylus inkjet printer rather than for display on a computer monitor.

    “Written by leading experts on Japanese sport and society, this is the perfect guide for anyone – sports fan, tourist, or armchair viewer – wanting to know the inside story about the Games and Japan in the 21st century.” Packed with information about the city, Olympic sports, and wider social issues in Japan, the book provides snapshots, in a pocket-sized form, of the essential background to the Olympics in 2020. John Horne, Waseda University, Japan “This is the first – and possibly only – book which explains contemporary Japan through the prism of the Olympics and the Olympics through the lens of Japanese society. Full of fascinating insights and information, it is sure to become a bible for anyone intending to attend (or even just watch) the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Definitely a winner.” Roger Goodman, University of Oxford, UK “There is much more on the line at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics than the competition among the athletes. The impacts of the Games them- selves, and their lead-up and legacy, will be equally portentous for Tokyo and for Japan. This comprehensive collection by experienced Japan researchers offers highly informative and smartly written commentaries on the social, political, and economic ramifications of Tokyo 2020. Urban infrastructure, regional disparities, food sustainability, school curriculum, political jockeying, LGBTQ rights, and language diversity are just some of the topics surveyed in these absorbing essays. This is an essential briefing for anyone wishing to know what is at stake as Tokyo hosts this global sporting mega-event.” William W.
