History of City Planning in the City of Yokohama

History of City Planning in the City of Yokohama City Planning Division, Planning Department, Housing & Architecture Bureau, City of Yokohama 1. Overview of the City of Yokohama (1) Location/geographical features Yokohama is located in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture at 139° 27’ 53” to 139° 43’ 31” East longitude and 35° 18’ 45” to 35° 35’ 34” North latitude. It faces Tokyo Bay to the east and the cities of Yamato, Fujisawa, and Machida (Tokyo) to the west. The city of Kawasaki lies to the north, and the cities of Kamakura, Zushi, and Yokosuka are to the south. Yokohama encompasses the largest area of all municipalities in the prefecture and is the prefectural capital. There are also rolling hills running north-south in the city’s center. In the north is the southernmost end of Tama Hills, and in the south is the northernmost end of Miura Hills that extends to the Miura Peninsula. A flat tableland stretches east-west in the hills, while narrow terraces are partially formed along the rivers running through the tableland and hills. Furthermore, valley plains are found in the river areas and coastal lowland on the coastal areas. Reclaimed land has been constructed along the coast so that the shoreline is almost entirely modified into manmade topography. (2) Municipal area/population trends The municipality was formed in 1889 and established the City of Yokohama. Thereafter, the municipal area was expanded, a ward system enforced, and new wards created, resulting in the current 18 wards (administrative divisions) and an area of 435.43km2. Although the population considerably declined after WWII, it increased by nearly 100,000 each year during the period of high economic growth.

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.

Good Practice of TOD 1) Overview 3.12 TOD Has Long Been a Key Concept for Both Transportation and Urban Development in Many Large Cities in Japan

Project for Studying the Implementation of Integrated UMRT and Urban Development for Hanoi in Vietnam FINAL REPORT – MAIN TEXT I 3.2 Good Practice of TOD 1) Overview 3.12 TOD has long been a key concept for both transportation and urban development in many large cities in Japan. Nowadays, Tokyo is the largest metropolitan area in the world with a total population of over 30 million. Yet, Tokyo is known for being one of the most competitive, livable and environmental-friendly city in the world. Although Tokyo suffers from traffic congestions, people and visitors can travel relatively smoothly among various social and business activities. This is largely due to the fact that Tokyo has an extensive urban rail network, which has been developed both by the public and the private sectors for long in the process of rapid urbanization. Therefore, there are many cases and experiences of Tokyo that can be used as a good reference for the future development of Hanoi. Some representative examples are shown in the following sections. 2) Smart Growth of Cities Based on TOD 3.13 A key role of TOD is to promote expansion of urban areas and accommodate increasing population in a sustainable manner, meaning that the people are provided with affordable housing and improved living environment, while mobility and accessibility to work places, schools and other services are concurrently provided through high-quality public transport. Developments of compact urban areas are encouraged along the rail lines. 3.14 Integrated development of new towns and suburban railway is one of the most characteristic experiences during the time of rapid urban expansion of large-cities in Japan, especially Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas.
