THE REALITY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF X-MINUTE CITY AS SEEN FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA – FOCUS ON COMPACT CITY POLICY–

Abstract

 In recent years, x-minute cities, which emphasize the living distance from the place of residence, have attracted worldwide attention. In Japan, while it is expected that policy development of urban development around residential areas will be implemented after COVID-19, there is also a focus on compact city policies that consolidate daily life services, and it is important to balance these concepts. It can be said that. In this study, we calculated the walking time from residence to daily life service facilities in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area as basic information for policy development, and examined the correspondence with the current urban function guidance area. As a result, 90% of people can reach all commercial, medical, and financial functions within walking distance in 20 minutes if all facilities are targeted, but within walking distance. It became clear that there are cities where less than 10% of facilities can access all functions.
