The study is especially layed emphasis on the rparly changes of these figures. Besides, such analyses are also reported in this paper as the analyses of the existing condition about the use of buildings in this area, the existring scale of the blocks, and the existing scale of the floor spaces about highstoried buildings. This study possesses the part of the study concerning of generated traffic volume from the Central Business district in Tokyo.
