“…The corridor is a large-scale regional development that succeeded the previous new town movement and adopted more recent planning principles. Planned by Urban Renaissance Agency since the 1990s, the regional initiative developed lands around future stations (Ogawa, 2018). It took advantage of the construction Tsukuba Express line co-financed by the many serving municipalities and later purposed to practice the networked-compact city concept for urban shrinkage as visioned by the Japanese state (Kawaguchi and Murayama, 2017;Tateishi et al, 2021).…”

In North America, Transit-Oriented Development rose as part of New Urbanism, a reformist urban design movement, whereas in Japan, TOD has been developed in an engineering-influenced tradition of planning. As a comparative planning history between the two regions has not been articulated, this study aims to fill this gap by asking: How did the idea of TOD evolve in the Anglosphere and Japan? When and how their practices and pursuits diverged? How does this investigation implicate TOD in global context, including that in the growing global south? By tracing the planning history from the railway suburb, the garden city, the new town move moment, the era of urban reform, and the global spread of TOD, this article identifies, in contrast to TOD in New Urbanism, Japanese TOD is rooted in a more pragmatist and modernist approach from its westward communication and local development. Both practices emphasized a synthetical transformation of land use, city form and transportation for social purposes, but these pursuits were sometimes asymmetrically achieved in history. Nowadays, when theories of land use, city form and social equity waned in the globalizing TOD concept, we argued TOD should adhere to their tensions and debates for approaching the common good.

Improvement of an Urban Growth Model for Railway-Induced Urban Expansion

et al. 2020

Increasing population in urban areas drives urban cover expansion and spatial growth. Developing urban growth models enables better understanding and planning of sustainable urban areas. The SLEUTH model is an urban growth simulation model which uses the concept of cellular automata to predict land cover change using six spatial inputs of historical data (slope, land use, exclusion, urban, transportation, and hill-shade). This study investigates the potential of SLEUTH to capture railway-induced urban growth by testing methods that can consider railways as input to the model, namely (1) combining the exclusion layer with a station map; (2) creating a new input layer representing stations in addition to the default six inputs. Districts in Tsukuba, Japan and Gurugram, India which historically showed evidence of urban growth by railway construction are investigated. Results reveal that both proposed methods can capture railway impact on urban growth, while the former algorithm under the right settings may perform better than the latter at finer resolutions. Coarser resolution representation (300-m grid-spacing) eventually reduces the differences in accuracy among the default SLEUTH model and the proposed algorithms.
