The Emergent Roles of the Concept of Gentrification: Thinking Space and Fairness in East Asian Cities
Every city has a location in time and space. Therefore, urban research, too, naturally bears the strong imprint of the specific time and space in which the city under study is located. Given this, should we aim for a general theory of cities, or should we emphasize theories that explain local particularities? This choice marks a major turning point for urban research. As the concept of “gentrification” is increasingly discussed in an expanded man…
Gentrification without Gentry in a Declining Global City: Vertical Expansion of Tokyo and Its Urban Meaning 1
This article explores the reasons for the vertical expansion of cities till the 2020s by analyzing the history of urban space production for about half a century, using Tokyo as an example. As a concept, gentrification partially explains the changes in Tokyo. However, summarizing the entire urban transformation as a gentrification trend can lead to some misunderstandings. Most of the development took the form of simply rebuilding skyscrapers in l…
A scenario- and spatial-downscaling-based land-use modeling framework to improve the projections of plausible futures: A case study of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, China
A search for new urban narratives in the era of globalization: The case of urban sociology in Japan
This article aims to describe the recent changes in urban sociology in Japan, especially by focusing on dominant urban narratives and their historical background. Japanese cities have rushed through a compressed modernity since the early 20th century. The sweeping crisis in the 21st century can be regarded partially as one of its consequences. New urban crises such as disparity and poverty, loss of habitat, internal populism, and various risks ar…
Inferring CO 2 fertilization effect based on global monitoring land-atmosphere exchange with a theoretical model
Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration ([CO 2 ]) enhances photosynthesis and reduces transpiration at the leaf, ecosystem, and global scale via the CO 2 fertilization effect. The CO 2 fertilization effect is among the most important processes for predicting the terrestrial carbon budget and future climate, yet it has been elusive to quantify. For evaluating the CO 2 fertilization effect on land photosynthesis and transpiration, we developed a tech…
World City
The concept “world city” appeared in the realm of urban studies in the 1980s, as a term that theorizes emerging urban hierarchy in the era of globalization. Although it was originally based on a critical theory that pointed out the contradictions faced by modern cities, its main idea soon became used as a convenient policy package by the world's urban policy‐makers for selling the objectives and strategies of cities. Both as an analytic and polit…

Tokyo’s “Living” Shopping Streets
This chapter has two shopping districts with contrasting geographical locations and historical backgrounds in Tokyo. The two local shopping streets are Azabu-Juban and Shimokitazawa. Both shopping streets survives to keep creating local authenticity those shoppers' desires. Authenticity has become their commercial "niche". For shopping streets in Tokyo is to be rich in traditional aesthetics but flexible in the products and services they offer. T…

Symbolic Use of Globalization in Urban Politics in Tokyo
Since the 1980s, more complicatedly interwoven forces of globalized capital, central and local states, and growth-oriented local actors have produced not a single form but variations of global city formation. In the reconstruction process of postindustrial cities, the concept of globalization does not necessarily provide a dominating and self-sufficient story, but actually acts as a symbolic catalyst which stimulates them to establish a new urban…
