Section 1 Changes in population trends in the National Capital Region and residential trends Although population in Japan has been entering a downturn due to the advance of the declining birthrate and aging society, it is expected that population will increase over the next decade or so in the National Capital Region, especially in the Tokyo region. However, looking at population changes in the Tokyo region between 2000 and 2005, it is not that population has increased in the entire Tokyo region but population has been decreasing at the outer edge of the Suburban Development and Redevelopment Area while it has been on a strong increasing trend in the inner-city area of Tokyo (Figure 1). This reveals that there has been a significant change in the past population trends in which the Suburban Development and Redevelopment Area accepts population that flows in the National Capital Region, thereby contributing to restraining a rapid population increase in the Urban District. Therefore, this section analyzes the status of household movements and characteristics thereof in each area, focusing on the inner-city area of Tokyo in which population trends have notably changed between 2000 and 2005 as well as municipalities where population is on the decrease in the Suburban Development and Redevelopment Area. 1 Figure 1 Population changes in the Urban District and Suburban Development and Redevelopment Area Population decrease in the suburban areas 1990→1995 2000→2005 Rate of annual average change in population Decrease by 1.0% or more Decrease by 0.5-1.0% Decrease by 0.0-0.5% Increase by 0.0-0.5% Increase by 0.5-1.0% Population increase in the inner-city of Tokyo Increase by 1.0-2.0% Increase by 2.0% or more Note: Municipal boundaries were modified as of October 1, 2005. Figures for wards in Chiba City, Yokohama City, and Saitama City were those processed by the National and Regional Planning Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport based on Population Census figures. Data: Prepared by the National and Regional Planning Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport based on the “Population Census” (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications). 1.

(2) Status by age of the head of household Looking at the excess of move-ins/move-outs in terms of the three inner-city wards for the five-year period up to 2003 by age of the head of household, move-ins exceeded move-outs for households with a head aged less than 65. In particular, move-ins significantly exceeded move-outs for households with a head aged 35-44 and those with a head aged 45-54. On the other hand, regarding households with a head aged 65 and above, the number of move-outs exceeded move-ins by 834 (Figure 6). Moreover, looking at the percentage of households that moved into or out of the three inner-city wards by age of the head of household, households with a head aged 25-44 account for a high percentage, occupying over 50% (54.2% of households that moved in and 56.6% of household that moved out). Households with a head aged 65 and above make up a low percentage of the total households that moved in or moved out, accounting for 5.5% of those that moved in and 11.3% of those that moved out (Figure 7). 4 Figure 6 Status of excess move-ins and move-outs in the three inner-city wards by age of the head of household Total合計 7,378 Under 25 25歳未満years old 1,302 25-34 25～34歳years old 157 35-44 35～44歳years old 3,341 Move-ins exceeded move-outs by 6,161. 45～54歳 2,820 45-54 years old 55-64 55～64歳years old 510 65-74 65～74歳years old -367 Move-outs exceeded 75 years old and75歳以上 above -467 move-ins by 834.

  • Examples of Bridge Damage on Metropolitan Expressway Discovered by Emergency Structural Inspections After the Tohoku Earthquake
    EXAMPLES OF BRIDGE DAMAGE ON METROPOLITAN EXPRESSWAY DISCOVERED BY EMERGENCY STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS AFTER THE TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE Tsuyoshi KOSUGI 1 Takehiko HATSUKU 2 Masaru SHIMONISHI 3 Abstract The Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011 (Heisei 23) was observed to be seismic intensity 5 Upper by the JMA intensity scale even in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, which is more than 300 km from the epicenter. Even the Metropolitan Expressway took heavy damage centered on the coastal regions where the shaking was strong. In this article, we introduce the results of the emergency inspections of the Metropolitan Expressway conducted after the earthquake and examples of the damage discovered. From the bridge pier inspections targeting bearings and earthquake-resistance reinforcements, it is clearly necessary to focus on damage around bearings when elevated bridges have major curvature or inclination such as in junctions, as well as when piers are steel structures. In addition, considerable surface difference in level was observed in areas where the piers were constructed on reclaimed land, and the reason is thought cavities that occurred by land subsidence before the earthquake become larger as a result of the earthquake. 1. Introduction The world's largest magnitude 9.0 earthquake, with an epicenter off the Sanriku coast in the Pacific Ocean, struck Japan on March 11, 2011. Not only was there damage from the tremors of this earthquake's seismic motion, but Japan witnessed the greatest disaster in her history due to the effects from the giant tsunami that hit the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region. This earthquake was observed to be seismic intensity 5 Upper even in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, which is more than 300 km from the epicenter (Figure 1-1).

  • Urban Expressway
    Urban Expressway Roads for automobile exclusive use separated from open roads without crossing at grade are necessary to alleviate automobile congestion and eliminate through traffics from open roads. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government started the study in 1951, the Urban Expressway Network of 8 Routes, road with a length of approx. 71km, was approved as the City Planning for the first time in August 1959,and based on the recommendation for the construction of the Urban Expressway System by the Committee on Capital Construction in 1953, “Basic Policy for the Tokyo City Planning Urban Expressway” of the Ministry of Construction approved in 1957 and the consideration by the Task Force for the Tokyo City Planning Urban Expressway,. Since then, as there were additional new routes, extension of existing routes and a part of alignment change etc., the routes approved in the City Planning are 19 routes with 3 branch routes, of approx. 226km, as of Mar. 2013. Among the routes already approved in the City Planning, the following are currently in service: the Routes of No.1, No.2, No.2 Branch Route, No.3, No.4, No.4 Branch Route, No.5, No.6, No.7, No.8, No.9, No.12, Bay Shore Branch Route, Adachi Line, Katsushika-Edogawa Line, Bay Shore Route, Oji Line, Shinjuku Line, a part of Outer Circular Route (from Oizumi 5-chome to Oizumi 1-chome, Nerima Ward) and a part of Harumi Line (from Toyosu 6-chome to Ariake 2-chome, Koto Ward), total 17 routes, 3 branch routes, road length approx. 196km, are in service now.

  • Section 2 Facility Plans
    Section 2 Facility Plans 1 Transport Facilities (1) Roads a. Urban Planning Road Roads are essential urban facilities to support urban activities and life, and in Tokyo, the Urban Planning Roads of about 3,210km have been approved. On the other hand, the completion ratio remains about 64%, and the implementation plan is formulated every about 10 years. The roads to preferentially develop are selected and systematically and efficiently developed. Regarding the Urban Planning Roads in the wards area in the past, after the City Planning had been approved in 1946 (initial approval), due to changes in social and economic conditions, the review of the entire Urban Planning Roads (re-examination of the Urban Planning Roads) were carried out in 1950, in 1964 (inside Loop 6), in 1966 (outside Loop 6), and in 1981 (the entire wards area). Regarding the Urban Planning Roads in the Tama region, after the plan in the Hachioji City Planning Area had been approved in 1930, as the plan for each City Planning Area has been individually approved, those plans were not the ones integrated for the entire Tama region. Therefore, the Urban Planning Roads were reviewed in consideration of the entire Tama region in 1961 and 1962. After that, the network of the Urban Planning Roads was examined in 1989 due to changes in social and economic conditions. In carrying out the development, the implementation plans to select the roads to develop preferentially were formulated, for the wards area in FY1981, FY1991 and FY2003, and the Tama region in FY1989, FY1995 and FY2006, and systematically and efficiently carried out.
