Description:The Tokyo Bay is characterized by one of the highest concentrations of megaprojects in Asia. However, the tradition of mega-project development in this region can betraced back to the megastructural movement in the 1960s from which it drew inspirationin planning and design. From the megastructural movement in the 1960s to the ongoingmega-projects in Tokyo Bay, there has been a marked evolution in planning concepts andurban development strategies. Underlying these changes is the substantial transformationof economic patterns and social ideologies that occurred as Japanese society entered thepost-industrial era. To examine the formation and evolution of urban design ideas in TokyoBay, this paper focuses on two epochal mega-projects, Tange’s 1960 Tokyo Bay Plan andthe Yokohama Minato Mirai 21, and compares them in terms of their socio-economicobjectives, planning approaches, relationships between architecture and infrastructure andthe notion of symbolism embodied in the project. Through the analysis, it is argued thatthese mega-projects were both instruments and products of the major socio-economic restructuring of the time. They represented an idealistic effort to create total environmentsthat serve as model cities of their eras.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
