This article proposes to explicate the economic and socio-cultural forces involved in the provision of space in central Tokyo as a factor in the development of the area. There were several arguments over landscaping. The appreciative attitude of the socio-cultural forces toward the Imperial Palace and their collective historical sentiments of modern Japan prevailed until recent times and were opposed to the verticalization of Marunouchi. However, such a feeling has weakened with the generational changes at Mitsubishi and the Mitsubishi Estate in the 1980s, and since then, development has been steered towards rapid verticalization. Furthermore, having recently experienced the demolition and redevelopment of Marunouchi Building, our attention is drawn to the research data, which illustrates the regional difference-that is meaningful-between 2-Chome and 3-Chome in the level of ascribed and retained that is being generated with regard to the selection and preservation of symbolism that spatially expresses the “Sense of Marunouchi”.
