  • 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.

  • Section 3 Development and Redevelopment of Urban Areas
    Section 3 Development and Redevelopment of Urban Areas １ Policy for Urban Redevelopment Policy for urban redevelopment is a master plan that comprehensively systematizes measures for urban redevelopment on a long-term basis, thereby aiming to ensure fair guidance and planned promotion of redevelopment. The revised Urban Renewal Act of 1980 has designated urban areas that require planned redevelopment (Category 1 Urban Areas) and those that should promote integrated and comprehensive redevelopment and have shown the momentum and activities for redevelopment as redevelopment promotion districts (Category 2 Areas or Quasi-Category 2 Areas), and areas that fall short of redevelopment promotion districts but are desirable to be developed and expected of development effects as redevelopment guidance districts. Policy for urban redevelopment has been repeatedly revised since its formulation in November 1986, the status as of April 1, 2019, is shown in Table 3-24 (page 149). ２ Urban Redevelopment Projects In existing urban areas, there are, in spite of their urban central locations, many areas that lack infrastructures such as roads, those that are with low land-use efficiency and poor urban environment due to their fragmented land use, and those that carry disaster risks due to high concentration of old wooden houses. As for urban redevelopment, the term “redevelopment” may be used in so broad a sense as to cover a case where a landowner promotes the construction of fireproof or high-rise buildings by consolidating or converting land use voluntarily in a personal or corporate capacity. In this regard, various methods are utilized. It is, however, difficult to promote redevelopment if depending only on voluntary construction activities in areas where relationships of rights are subdivided or where effective land use cannot be pursued only by private funding.
