    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.

    15 to Enhance and Strengthen Port Functions and Measures for Cargo

    To enhance and strengthen port functions and measures for cargo collection, taking into consideration the conditions surrounding the Port of Kawasaki in recent years, such as wide-area linkage of the three Keihin ports (Port of Kawasaki, Port of Yokohama, and Port of Tokyo), and the Port of Kawasaki's selection as a Strategic International Container Port, the City of Kawasaki revised the harbor plan for the Port of Kawasaki, which focuses on the years from 2023 to 2028, in November 2014. This plan plays an extremely important role as a guideline for development, use, and conservation of the Port of Kawasaki, based on the role of this port within the three Keihin ports, as well as demands from port-related personnel, location companies, citizens, and the government. In an aim to increase industrial competitive strength in the metropolis, and protect and develop industries, employment, and livelihood based on reinforcing the linkage among the three Keihin ports, policies for the harbor plan are being established for each function in order to realize a Port of Kawasaki that supports industrial activities and contributes to the stability and improvement of the local economy and civilian life. [Industry/logistics functions] Strengthen logistics functions by reorganizing and expanding port functions [Disaster-prevention functions] Strengthen support functions at times when a large-scale earthquake occurs [Energy functions] Maintain and support energy supply functions [Environment/interaction functions] Enhance amenity space that makes use of the characteristics of the port space 15 Port capabilities are a premise that determines the scale and layout of port facilities, and the cargo amount handled is a basic indicator that represents port capabilities.

  • Vision for Coastal Area

    Vision for Coastal Area

    In Formulating the Vision Vision for Coastal Area About 100 years ago, the Kawasaki coastal area was created by Soichiro - The Ideal Image of Kawasaki Coastal Area - Asano, the pioneer of entrepreneurs, through landfilling projects and corporate invitations and has made great strides in the post-war high economic growth period by supporting the Japanese economy. After that, in the process of experiencing the hollowing out of industry due to environmental issues and globalization, the entire area, mainly compa- nies, has repeatedly replaced the old with the new and has progressively advanced the R&D function and accumulation of logistics facilities. At present, efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of key industries and business collaborations utilizing the strength of an industrial complex have emerged. In addition, the Tonomachi International Strategic Base, King Skyfront, was formed, and efforts using hydrogen were developed. The movement to create new industries is also accelerating. For the sustainable development of the Kawasaki coastal area even in the continued turbulent world and aiming not only to support citizen services and employment as the center of the creation of a strong indus- trial city but also to become a global model area as an industrial base, we have formulated Vision For Coastal Area looking ahead 30 years with various related parties, including companies, this time. In the Vision, as the ideal image in 30 years that the Kawasaki coastal area is aiming for, industries that realize the affluence are in full play as required in a new era and an area where diverse human resources and cultures resonate by utilizing the climate of the Kawasaki coastal area were set.
