Introduction to the Japanese Context of Compact Urban Form
“Tokyo as a Compact City?”
PRESENTATION INDEXTokyo and Japan context for…1. Urban sprawl2. Spatial policies and regulations3. Addressing density and ensuring livability4. Transport and TOD5. Indicators and benchmarks for Compact City

Urban Expansion of Tokyo

Highly concentratedTaito Ward exceeding 320/haRural areas at the peripheryLess extensive Tokyo Harbor
Largest urban area by 1970“Fingers” of development along railTokyo proper losing population to suburbs
Redensification of the Tokyo properGreater Tokyo population reaching30 million excluding rural areas

Urban Expansion of Tokyo
1. Urban Sprawl
Rapid expansion took place first before WWII, and then in 50s and 60s. Tokyo stabilized since, but the suburbs continued.

Key Spatial Policies/ Regulations Shaping Urban Form
2. Spatial Policies and Regulations
Source: The Urban Planning Formulation and Management Capacity Development Project (CupCup), JICAHall, P. 1975. Urban and Regional Planning. London: Routledge.
Migration to urban areas during the high economic growth period in 1960s
and 1970s (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya)
“Donut phenomenon” from 1960s to 1980s (crowding out of city centers)
Revitalization of metropolitan areas: What are the factors?
Relatively affordable land prices (supply-demand plus economic downturn
since 1990s) leading to abundant supply of housing and office space,
especially social housing by public sector
Deregulation of high-rise buildings (c.f. FAR)
Increase of elderly population in suburbs lacking mobility/ accessibility
Changes affecting Urban Form and Evolution of Spatial Policies

Top 3 Districts in Tokyo with Highest Density Today
Toshima Ward226/ ha
Nakano Ward205/ ha
Arakawa204/ ha
How dense is your city?To what extent does density represent urban form?

High Public Transport Modal Share in Tokyo
4. TOD and Regeneration
Tokyo and its surrounding areas are highly reliant on public transport. Even in the metropolitan area (34M population), more than 50% of commuters use railway. The modal share of public transport is about 80% within the wards of Tokyo (8M population).

Integration of Transit and Land Use in Tokyo
4. TOD and Regeneration

Most areas are walking distance from stations… High modal share of public transporttranslates into high land value along lines…
Actually has poor road network…
Car Ownership in Japan
Rapid expansion of rail network affected slow onset of motorization, and vice versa…
Relatively expensive Poor road conditions Rapid expansion of rail

Introduction to Toranomon Redevelopment Case
Prominent case of inner-city redevelopment
Specialized arrangements applied to promote
high-value redevelopment: floor area ratio (FAR),
building coverage ratio (BCR) and height control.
Consolidates fragmented land and promotes
integrated development, well linked with public
transport, often involving the construction of
multi-purpose high-rise buildings.
New metro station planned for accessibility.
Allows the creation of accessible shared open and
green space. We will go on a site visit this afternoon, led by Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Mori Building.

Schemes for Urban RegenerationLand Readjustment Project Urban Redevelopment Project New Residential Area
Development ProjectMeasure Replotting: exchanging rights from
one land to anotherRight conversion: exchanging rights from land to building floor
Whole purchase including the right of compulsory expropriation
Objective Development of public facilitiesIncrease of use in building lots
Development of fire-resistant buildingDevelopment of public facilitiesRational and sound high utilization of land
Planned development of new built-up area by single implementing body
Legal Basis Land Readjustment Law (1954) Urban Redevelopment Law (1969) New Residential Area Development Law (1963)
Target Area Applied broadly from urbanized area to new town
Urbanized Area New Town
Project Size Usually more than a few hectares Several hectares (mainly 1-3 hectares)
More than 100 hectares
Implementing Bodies Individuals, cooperatives, local governments, public corporations
Individuals, cooperatives, local governments, public corporations

How to measure the “compactness” of a city?
How to measure the “impact” of compact city policies?
Dense AND Proximate
Well linked with Public Transport
Accessibility to Local Services and Jobs
Environmental Elements Social Elements Economic Elements
Affordability…Energy efficiency… O&M savings…

“Compactness” is not all about density…How to measure “compactness” of a city?
Category Indicator DescriptionDense and proximate development patterns
Population and urban land growth Annual growth rate of population and urban land within a metropolitan area
Population density on urban land Population over the surface of urban land within a metropolitan areaRetrofitting existing urban land Share of urban development that occurs on existing urban land
rather than on greenfield landIntensive use of buildings Vacancy rates of housing and officesHousing form Share of multi-family houses in total housing unitsTrip distance Average trip distance for commuting/ all tripsUrban land cover Share of urban land in a metropolitan area
Urban areas linked by public transport systems
Trips using public transport Share of trips using public transport in total tripsProximity to public transport Share of population, employment within walking distance of public
transport stations in total populationAccessibility to local services and jobs
Matching jobs and homes Balance between jobs and homes at the neighborhood scale
Matching local services and homes
Balance between local services and homes at the neighborhoodscale
Proximity to local services Share of population within walking distance of local services
