“…Since the inner area suffered from the out moving of many plants, its position in the whole Tokyo area declined (Takeuchi 1972). A majority of the economists, geographers, and urban planners forecast that the manufacturing sector would vanish from Inner Tokyo, and governments expected and supported their idea.…”

“…The con tent of processing located here is said to cover such a wide range of capability that they can cover almost the whole range of minute proc essing at this site. These processors form a common base of the machinery industry and can be labeled as the "basic industries" (Takeuchi 1972). On the other hand, due to the small size of each plant and the fact that a lot of their products or processing itself are also small, there also exists a considerably wide range of special machines and parts manufac turers producing dies, jigs and tools.…”

Abstract:The most important core that has sustained the innovations of the machinery industry of Japan is the technological complex composed of SMEs in Southern Tokyo, the core of which is Ota-ku. Entering the 1990s, the firms and their industrial complex have changed their respective methods of operations under the drastic change in economic conditions. That is, in addition to the founding (1st) generation the new generation participated as management and engineering staff. This resulted in the crystallization of craftsmanship and ME technolo gies to bring about the sophistication of plants and their complex. These innovations were led not by the TNCs but by the SMEs. Consequently the complex of SMEs that was in a vertical relationship with the TNCs has functionally grown into a horizontal one. At the same time, the new generation that has grown up together in the same area has promoted its network or interchanges with various types of residents to strengthen the overall industrial community. In recent years, the local government has promoted attractive regional industrial projects to strengthen and fortify both the technological complex and the innovative system. The measures taken for the vitalization of industry have in turn, brought about the improvement of the environment.In Inner Tokyo, the basis of sustainable renovation depends upon the renewal of the area based upon the symbiosis of industrial complex and the environment.

“…' Such a high ratio of outside orders by users shows the so phisticated technology that mold production requires. Mold technology is a basic technology of machinery industries (Seki 1994), while the mold manufacturing industry is a basic indus try of machinery industries (Takeuchi 1972).…”
