“…Most of the sites of large-scale plants has been converted to apart ment housing and there has been a distinctive decline in the number of plants in the area surrounding railway terminals. The area where there is a large concentration of small-scale plants in Inner Tokyo is at the same time an area where there is a large concentration of population, and its land use is characterized by the mixture of working and living (Takeuchi 1974). Since the 1970s, the mixture of plants and houses was unfavorably evaluated as "con fusion" by the city planners, economists and governments from the view point of land use.…”

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.

“…houses are often built on redundant industrial areas. Due to this functional transformation in many areas, these "industrial communities" be gin to disintegrate, although they still operate and look as Takeuchi characterized them about 20 years ago (Takeuchi 1974). The reutilization of these industrial areas and the new establish ments built on the former sites have considera bly affected the surroundings and the way of life of the local people (Murayama 1997).…”
