Urban Design Yokohama URBAN DESIGN CITY OF YOKOHAMA YOKOHAMA ENGLISH Urban Design within Yokohama The urban design of Yokohama originated in the late 1960s as one of the strategies used to promote postwar reconstruction as well as to cope with various urban problems arising during the high economic growth period, with the ultimate goal of making Yokohama a self-reliant city. The urban design approach has also played a role in identifying the balance between functional and economic needs from urban development on one hand, and aesthetic/human values such as beauty, enjoyment and grace on the other, thus helping to produce characteristic and attractive urban spaces. 7 Aims and Principles of 1940s−1960s: Occurrence of Late 1960s−: 3 basic strategies toward the creation of a Urban Design various urban problems self-reliant city 1 Supporting pedestrian activities 1945: Devastating destruction of Project production by ensuring safe and comfortable urban area resulting from the war Production of 6 flagship projects to walking spaces. 41% of the urban area was burnt down construct the main skeleton of the city 2 Taking into consideration natural from air raids characteristics such as the 1945−: Signifi cant delay in the topography and vegetation of the reconstruction process due to area concerned. requisition of urban area/port 3 Placing value on the historical facilities and cultural assets of the area 90% of port facilities and 27% of the concerned. entire urban area were requisitioned 4 Increasing and expanding open around 1949 spaces and greenery zones. 1950s: Disordered urbanization 1 Subway Development 5 Placing value on waterfront associated with urban expansion of Plan spaces of the sea and rivers.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
