ANALYSIS OF DISTRIBUTION AND ATTRIBUTES OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BY THE DISTANCE FROM RAILWAY STATIONS

First Category Urban Redevelopment Projects (1st-URP) in Tokyo 23 wards

Abstract

This paper examines patterns that the locations of 1st-URPs are clustered near the railway stations for location advantages, and analyzes the characteristics of 1st-URPs inrelation to their distance to railway stations. All the projects were classified into two groups based onthe distance from railway stations, and 102 attributes were compared between the groups. The threshold distancethat divides the two groups was found to be 200meters in Tokyo metropolitan area, which is close to the distance suggested by previous studies analyzing commercial facilities. Results clearly demonstrate that the distance to station strongly influences the realization and characteristics of the 1st-URPs.
