Rapid urbanization sees the functional economies of large cities (the so-called ‘economic
footprint’) extend beyond traditional boundaries to capture physically separate but
functionally networked cities and towns in the surrounding (regional) hinterland

24. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
The bureau of waterworks supplies water to 23 wards and 26 cities & towns in the Tama area.
The water supply comes in
via three rivers: the Tone,
Ara, and Tama rivers, in
that order. The Tone and
Ara rivers bring in 78% of
the water supply, from
regions north of Tokyo,
the Tama river 19%, from
reservoirs along its course.
27. Edo, was a picturesque capital
A bird’s-eye view published at the end of the
Tokugawa period, skillfully depicted this city:
Tokyo suffered two major catastrophes during
the twentieth century—
•the great Kanto earthquake and
aerial
•bombing during World War II
the time of the 1964 Olympic Games,
when its fabric was deliberately remade.
Edo then…
Tokyo now …
28. Functions of a “Water City”
Traveling along hidden canals it is still possible to trace
how Edo/Tokyo was shaped by water
Lower city was dominated by a network of canals and waterways.
•Protect the city from floods and
•Facilitated shipping.
Many urban functions linked Edo/Tokyo to water
Musashino plateau, forming an intricate weave between
urban spaces and natural land forms
29. Initial development at dosanbori

•Zaimokucho for lumber,
•Funecho for shipping
•Yokkaichicho as a market
Upper part of sumida river called arakawa
Edo was growing into a great centre of transportation network & a great urban centre as well
30. Nihonbashi canal- spine of “water city”
The most powerful merchants concentrated
their shops along this “main street,” making
it the country’s financial nucleus.
Composed of wooden buildings, Edo was
frequently plagued by fire.
People went to riverside for fireworks, cherry-blossom festivals, regattas, and
other events. Amusement on yakatabune (house-shaped pleasure boats).

31. By that time the main subcentres, Shibuya, Shinjuku
and Ikebukuro, had already developed spontaneously
before any official efforts were made to encourage their
formation, as a result of the structure of the
Tokyo area railway system.
the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923
destroyed over 60% of
the existing built up area
Earthquake also greatly
set back city planning in
the Tokyo region, as not
only were the newly
prepared city plans of
Tokyo and its suburban
districts consumed in the
fire
At the end of the 19th century when the Japanese
national railway system was first being built it was
radially centred on Tokyo
Rapid industrialization during the First World War had combined with the increasing
mobility of the workforce provided by expansion of the streetcar and rail systems to
create conditions of rapid suburban growth.
Factors leading to the growth of
Suburban districts/Satellite towns
32. Early 19th century Yamanote loop
line was built to the west of the
then built up area so that freight
trains, particularly those carrying
silk, Japan’s main international
export, from central Honshu to
the port at Yokohama, could run
straight through to the port
without unloading in the city.
Yamanote had seven hills,
and their countless slopes gave
the city great charm Y A M A N O T E L O O P L I N E
Central Tokyo rail system and main stations in 1930
33. Second factor contributing to the establishment of the subcentres was the
purchase of the privately built Tokyo streetcar system in 1911 by the
Tokyo municipal government.
The three main subcentres of
Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro
thus developed along the west side
of the loop where the private lines
terminated and commuters had to
switch to either JR trains or
streetcars to reach the centre.
Entertainment & Restaurant
Districts developed in these
subcentres to serve those changing
trains on the way home

Den’en Toshi (Garden City), was inspired
by the British garden cities movement,
The priority given to industrial development re•flects the
timing of the release of the plan in 1940
Such ‘industrial promotion areas’ and ‘military
cities’ (gunto toshi) were actually built during the
war as a way of dispersing over concentrated
ammunitions plants from central Tokyo
36. The first NCRDP announced in 1958 also designated Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro
as subcentres designed to relieve growth pressure on the CBD area. Planning for the future
structure of the capital
region began again in the
1950s with the beginnings
of economic revival and
renewed growth of urban
population.
In 1951 a National Capital
Construction Committee
was established which
proposed a scheme for
satellite town building in
1953.
37. Railroads gradually displaced shipping by canal.
Over time the city also shifted from a water to a land orientation. Streets were
widened and paved, and streetcars appeared
The condition of Tokyo’s waterways detoriate
during the period of high economic growth in the
1960s, when many were covered over and
transformed into sewers, and the Sumida River
became highly polluted.
Olympic 1964
World War II, many of these waterways was lost, and in 1964 the city was rapidly
restructured to improve circulation for the Olympic Games. Expressways, the Shinkansen
(Bullet Train), and a monorail were built, often using space occupied by canals.
38. Tokyo should be ringed by
three major new
‘Business Core Cities’

39. These include the Yamanote ring subcentres, the Tama area ‘cores’, the ‘business cores’ of Omiya- Urawa,
Kawasaki-Yokohama, and Chiba, and a variety of new towns and existing principal cities.

Tachikawa and Tama New
Town far to the west of the

With a good balance between work and living, the dispersal of functions throughout the
Tokyo Metropolitan Region will be promoted, and the structure of Tokyo will be changed
from the present overly concentrated center to a multi-polar structure”
A large number of satellite cities have
been designated, and some built, such as
Tsukuba, Tama, Kohoku and Chiba new
towns, and also many new subcentres
including Hachioji, Shin Yokohama and

45. Special wards are autonomous from the Tokyo metropolitan government, they also
function as a single urban entity in respect to certain public services, including
water supply, sewage disposal, and fire services.
These services are handled by the Tokyo metropolitan government
These wards have Self-governing municipalities, each having a mayor, a council, and the
status of a city.
Success Of Tokyo is underpinned by a history of strong political integration resulting
from strong metropolitan government
G O V E R N A N C E
49. •The collapse of the economic bubble reduced the strength of the iron triangle
(bureaucracy, government, and big business) and allowed citizen groups to assert
more effective influence over the Tokyo government.
•Another passage was the Nonprofit Organizations Law of 1998-The passage of this
law created the first viable framework for citizen participation in the urban
development system in Tokyo (political and economic environments have opened
the political structure of the government to allow participation by the nonprofit
sector)
•There is a continuous concern about building an adequate nonprofit sector,
preventing the urban environment from being shaped by economic forces, as
opposed to citizen participation
G O V E R N A N C E
50. Finally, the political configuration of the city-region Tokyo builds forward on its historical
ideology of ‘developmentalism’ according to which the state in an outspoken pro-active
role involves the private sector to promote economic growth.
Apart from the leading national state, the Japanese system consists of
Deconcentrated Prefectures and local government.
There are 4 prefectures in regional Tokyo, of which TMG is the strongest
(TMG is the prefecture in the core of the region).
Besides After decades of success, the closed partnership model of the
Japanese economy ran into problems in the 1990s.
G O V E R N A N C E
51. last ten years the state is following a renewed pro-growth program to
promote the recovery of the national economy and in doing so it beds in particular
on its strongest horse of concentrated service and financial economy in the CBD and
central core of Tokyo, making TMG very important.
At wider city-regional level, however, the asymmetry is increasing, resulting in a
regional agenda of polarized areas (prosperous in the core versus increasing poverty in
outside areas, in particular in the East). Economic policy is extremely concentrated and
not very well addressed in the wider region, also equity and immigration issues are
not addressed at level of city region. An interesting exemption regards environmental
policies.
Environmental policies are very well integrated in the Japanese culture and in the
economy, these policies are actively addressed through all levels of scale.
G O V E R N A N C E
52. •Since the reform, TMG (Tokyo Metropolitan Government) and the wards have sought to
identify and recommend specific changes in policies and law and gain consensus among
affected parties.
•Services to be transferred from TMG to the ward offices include waste management,
city planning, education and aspects of septic tank regulation and sewerage
services.
•The aim of the reform is to convert the wards into “basic local public bodies.”
•This has subsequently changed the status of citizen participation in the city
G O V E R N A N C E
53. Greater Tokyo Region was experiencing skyrocketing land prices, worsening problems
•congestion in the centre,
•overcrowding of transportation infrastructure, and
•further development in many central areas was limited by infrastructure shortfalls.
•Economic change has also had an effect. Following a period of improvement, Tokyo
rushed into an era of inflated real estate values around 1985
And as its urban industrial infrastructure lost importance, the city was also
transformed into a global center of information and finance. This led to the
construction of a succession of highrise office buildings on the former estuary of the
Sumida River and on reclaimed land.
