“…Holgersen and Haarstad [2] have studied a case of urban redevelopment at King's Cross in London and they have presented three strategies for reinserting issues of class into planning theory and practice. Caballero and Tsukamoto [3] have studied the scale through the study of specific Tokyo districts and comparing and highlighting its differences with an urban configuration emerging in Tokyo through redevelopment projects. In general, their research has focused on the relationship between hub stations and urban redevelopment.…”

Japanese rail transit hub station has gradually changed from being high-intensity to ultra-high intensity with the guidance from the urban regeneration policy. This change aims to promote compact urban construction and optimize public transportation system for sustainable urban development. Along with demand for city expansion and city intensification, land utilization around hub stations gradually change from incremental development mode to redevelopment mode that tends to stock. This study summarizes the implementation of typical ultra-high-intensity redevelopment projects, which are classified into three categories. This study also provides a comparative study of the design methods and strategies of these cases from the perspective of developing intensity, functional layout, pedestrian system, and landscape space. Finally, this study provides relevant references and suggestions for the ultra-high-intensity redevelopment of the core area of hub stations by analyzing the aforementioned factors.

“…The complex relationship between public space, transportation and commercial uses is also systematized by Caballero and Tsukamoto (2009), in their analysis of Tokyo’s Transit Urban Centers . The following six qualities are identified as specific to these complex urban arrangements: Centrality as intersection of flows , with the transportation hub at the centre of a radially expanded commercial area; Intricate space with open access , allowing multiple possibilities of pedestrian movement; Fuzzy boundaries between different types of urban landscape and land-use; Dispersion of large-scale buildings , resulting in a global medium-rise character for the whole area; Hidden public space , with strong liminal qualities; Inclusive order , making multiple uses accessible from walking distance. …”

“…Most train and subway lines converge towards the central area bounded by the Yamanote line, and more recently around the Oedo subway line, shaping the unique transportation and retail hubs (Figure 1) along its main stations such as Shinjuku (Figure 2), Shibuya and Tokyo Station (Figure 3). These hybrid station-retail-urban architectural conglomerates are in a constant process of evolution, adapting to changing infrastructural needs (new lines, transfer connections) and to real-estate market trends (Caballero and Tsukamoto, 2009; Kaise, 2010). Each one of these hubs has its own character and history, shaped by its immediate surroundings, position in the overall metropolitan network, and the various players’ and stakeholders’ strategies and agendas (Chorus and Bertolini, 2016; Nikken Sekkei ISCD Study Team, 2013).…”

“…This perspective has been discussed in earlier research regarding Tokyo’s metropolitan networks, namely, under the Fibercity concept (Ohno, 2006, 2016) and its visual and design-oriented approach, on which most of this research is grounded. The additional conceptual framework includes network transitions in contemporary cities (Coutard and Rutherford, 2011), innovative mobility solutions linking digital technologies and public space (Rouillard and Guiheux, 2020) and hybrid architectural and urban configurations around mobility spaces (Caballero and Tsukamoto, 2009).…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify relevant innovations in Tokyo’s spatial articulation of infrastructure, building and public space, intertwining large-scale networks with local scale urban fabrics, to inform urban management towards sustainable urban transitions. Design/methodology/approach The research used a methodological combination of literature review, relevant case identification and analysis, on-site survey and photography, morphological interpretation through cartographic analysis and urban space and architectural redrawing and discussion under the conceptual framework. Findings Under Japan’s cultural construct, public/private thresholds are blurred and layered, defining a public space network which includes not only large-scale urban objects, such as railroad and commercial hubs but also small scale, hybrid and rather aweless forms of urban space, which can be of interest to the challenges of sustainable urban transition. Research limitations/implications Adaptations in urban management and design need to consider the multi-scalar embeddedness of urban networks in local fabrics, considering public space structure and socio-cultural specificities. Limitations to growth-oriented rationale require increasingly decentralized networks and more hybrid spatial configurations in buildings, infrastructures and public space. Originality/value Tokyo represents an example of how a network-dependent metropolis, accommodates highly adaptive, inconspicuous and decentralized forms of basic service provision with an impact on the perception, use and management of public space. The main argument lies in the potential that these spatial arrangements hold as references for contemporary urban management and design in what pertains to societal challenges, low-carbon transition and network optimization.

“…According to Caballero & Tsukamoto (2009), the centrality of Transit Urban Centers (TUCs) in Tokyo is formed in accordance with flows of people and mass transit, and public spaces were formed along streets as compared to other corporate urban centers. In addition, the boundary of TUCs is shown to be linear or fuzzy territoriality not dot-shaped.…”

Environmental and Economic Impacts of Transit-Oriented Corridors in Korea

This study measures and estimates the potential environmental and economic impacts of introducing transit-oriented corridors in Korea. By developing a TOC planning model concept through regression analysis, authors examine the relationship between TOC planning factors and transport modal share, and the impact of transit accessibility on transport modal choice. Several conclusions were drawn from the results; first, in order to promote mass transit, the area's residential and commercial features must be intensified through a combination of mixed-use and a low ratio of road. Second, the transit modal choice analysis revealed that accessibility to mass transit is an important variable in determining its usage, along with the number of blocks per unit area and the pedestrian environment of the vicinity. Third, the results suggest that strengthening city-wide reliance on mass transit is effective in reducing environmental hazards to a significant degree: with a ridership ratio increase expected in the range of 3.5 to 5.9%, the resulting decreased road traffic would reduce CO 2 emissions by 391 to 686 thousand tons. Finally, in terms of boosting the regional economy, higher pedestrian volumes of commuters would increase annual income for neighborhood retailers in the range of 7.4 to 13.6 million dollars.
