  • 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.

  • Name: Tong Suk Chong
    Public Ecologies of Art The Urban Redevelopment Policy in Tokyo: Case Studies of Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown Projects Tong Suk Chong INTRODUCTION As a country with long historical development, Japan has her own urban renewal policy. Urban renewal is generally classified into three categories: redevelopment, rehabilitation and conservation (Sakamoto, 1998). Urban Redevelopment System is one of the most popular methods of urban renewal in Japan (Sakamoto, 1998). Since 1969, Japanese government has established her Urban Redevelopment System and passed the Urban Redevelopment Law. Redevelopment refers to the partial or total clearance of a large-scale physically or socially deteriorating area so as to redesign the area for environmental improvement and better social quality of life (Sakamoto, 1998). As redevelopment played an important role in urban renewal policy Japan, cases in this paper will be discussed from the perspective of urban redevelopment. Also, being the capital of Japan, Tokyo was one of the focuses for urban redevelopment. Hence, this paper will focus on examining how redevelopment projects work in Tokyo. URBAN REDEVELOPMENT POLICY IN JAPAN Organizational structure for managing urban redevelopment policy in Japan In May 2001, the Japanese national government set up the Urban Renaissance Headquarters chaired directly by the Prime Minister. The Urban Renaissance Headquarters was established within the Cabinet with the mission to promote 21st century projects for urban rebirth from various perspectives, including environmental and internationalization perspectives, and more effective land use. The Deputy Chief of the Urban Renaissance Headquarters included the Chief Cabinet Secretary and the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, while all other Ministers of State were members.

  • “Hey, What's the Big Idea!? You Can't Kick Me out Just
    “Hey, what’s the big idea!? You can’t kick me out just like that!” “Of course I can! There’s no place for jobless freeloaders like you here!” “Come on, this is all happening so suddenly. Can’t you give m-” “Ohhhhh, no! Don’t you dare give me that dumbass excuse, you got that!?” As the argument with his landlord reached its crux, Naokuu was flung out of his apartment, past the open door and onto the outdoors walkway on the second floor. His back hit the balcony railing running opposite the side-by-side grouping of doors, making him bounce forward an inch or two as he came to a stop. He let out a pained grunt, slumping down to the walkway floor with his head hanging down. The skies above the rental apartment building in Setagaya were gloomy. Light enough to be seen as mere overcast and not a rainstorm, but gloomy nonetheless. It did nothing to help his current situation, his landlord marching to the door’s edge. He was a man of average size, with a lanky physique bordering on anorexic, with a bloated stomach to boot. His taupe-grey hair was heavily receded, exposing his forehead and the front third of the top of his head to almost impressive effect, and his mouth was missing some teeth, one on top and two on bottom as far as the incisors were concerned. He stood in the doorway, in a white chest-stained wifebeater whose bottom hem stopped short of his belly button and grey cotton sweatpants with a black drawstring, staring down at Naokuu with hands on his hips and a cock-eyed glare.

  • Foto Di Tokyo
    FOTO DI TOKYO "Shinjuku": il quartiere perla... Il quartiere più moderno e appariscente della megalopoli giapponese, adagiato nella parte occidentale della città, che trasuda vita e dinamicità da tutti i suoi cementosi pori, ricchissimo di grattacieli, luci a non finire, negozi, sale giochi e chi più ne ha, più ne metta... Shinjuku ovest (Nishi-Shinjuku) è dominato dall'imperioso "Tange Kenzo Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building" con le sue due robuste torri gemelle incorporate nel medesimo edificio. In Shinjuku ovest spiccano numerosi grattacieli, fra essi i più importanti (oltre a quello appena citato) sono: il "Dai-Ichi Seimei Building", il "Sumitomo Building", il "Mitsui Building", l'"Island Tower", il "Shinjuku Center Building", il "Sompo Japan Building" e il "Nomura Building". Shinjuku est invece è più densamente popolato, con insegne al neon, shopping, vita notturna e frenesia metropolitana. Nelle prime foto si vedono (da sinistra verso destra) il "Mitsui" e il "Sumitomo"; nelle altre tre foto si vede il "Tange Kenzo" da diversi punti di inquadratura (tutte foto riferite a Shinjuku ovest). Shinjuku ovest. "Shinjuku Chuo Park" e visuale dei grattacieli attorno (nella seconda e terza foto).
