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.

  • The 9Th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan
    The 9th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan Direction-Controlled Lifting System Masahiro Nishimura Construction Technology Development Department Taisei Corporation 3-25-1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan Shigeyuki Yamashita Engineering Department TOKIMEC Engineering Inc 2-16-46 Minami-Kamata, Ota-ku Tokyo Japan Norimitsu Yoshihama Yokohama Landmark Tower Building Project Site Office, Yokohama Branch, Taisei Corporation 3-2-1 Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan ABSTRACT In the construction of a high-rise building, structural members can be turned by the wind during lifting, making installation work more difficult and reducing productivity. This paper describes a system for the control of rotation around the vertical axis during the lifting of members. The system consists of three major units; a sensing unit, an operation unit, and an actuating unit. The operation unit incorporates a rate gyro, which keeps track of the lifted members in initial direction. It controls the actuating unit, which consists of a pair of blowers that stabilize orientation during lifting. Although this system contributes greatly to safety and work efficiency when used alone, it will also be an extremely useful sub-system in the future total automation of construction. 1. INTRODUCTION In the construction of a super-high-rise building, it is generally the case that the more stories to be constructed, the greater the number of working days lost due to inclement weather. The major causes of this loss are rainfall and strong winds. While some days on which work must be halted occur even in the construction of lower stories regardless of the height, days lost to strong winds occur more frequently as the working height increases.

  • Notice of Capital and Business Alliance Between Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd
    November 9, 2017 News Release Company name: Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd. Representative: Yasushi Higuchi, President (Stock code: 1861, TSE, First Section) Contact: Chihiro Nosaka General Manager, Accounting Dept., Administrative Div. (Tel.: 81-3-3235-8606 Company name: Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. Representative: Akira Ichikawa, President (Stock code: 1911, TSE, First Section) Contact: Yuichiro Ono General Manager, Corporate Communications Dept. (Tel.: 81-3-3214-2270) Notice of Capital and Business Alliance between Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. and Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd. Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. (hereafter, “Sumitomo Forestry”) and Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd. (hereafter, “Kumagai Gumi”) concluded an agreement concerning a capital and business alliance (hereafter, “the Alliance”) today. The two companies intend to grow together as long term strategic partners and increase corporate value based on a good relationship involving mutual respect for independence and autonomy in management and a spirit of equality. 1. Purpose of the Alliance: Entry into New Business Areas and Creation of New Markets The residential housing and construction markets in Japan are projected to reach a contracted equilibrium at a smaller market size as the population declines over the medium to long-term. Recognizing the need for initiatives aimed at sustainable growth amid the changing business environment, the two companies are aiming to build new, independent positions that exceed the boundaries of their existing businesses. They have considered a collaborative structure for initiatives such as creating new markets, development of high value-added technology, and business expansion overseas. Sumitomo Forestry, which is the top brand in the timber and building materials business and the wooden custom- built detached housing business, recognizes the need for a general contracting function in pursuing a global strategy that includes the real estate development business in addition to strengthening Sumitomo Forestry’s business in the non-housing sector in Japan.
