Information Age urges leading metropolises to install information utilities to a high level. The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey has proposed that the cities which own Teleport as an information utility league together. Tokyo has drawn a plan for the Teleport development on a island 6km off The Central Business District. This urban development is generally conceived as one of Cities of Tomorrow.
While Tokyo Teleport will be realized in 6 years, a lot of urban images drawn in 1960's have never been practiced. Though these Images or Projects are based on the optimism relying upon technological progress, the progress could not reach the expected level, and these images have lacked considerations for psychological aspects. In 1970's no large scale images was presented, possibly, because of the economic recession. In 1980's urban developments have revitalized at all over the world, and high-tech images drawn in 1960's have partly realized as some architecture, as the new office building for Lloyd's of London. Though several proposals for the Tokyo-bay development and other architectural images have been presented as in 1960's, only those plans that attach great importance to sensibility, nature, land, rapid transit network, as well as costs may be able to survive.
