Characteristics of Development and Utilization of Privately Owned Public Space in Tokyo

An Analysis of 151 cases Through the "Tokyo Municipal Ordinance on Promoting the SYARETA-MACHINAMI"

Abstract

This study examines the spatial planning and utilization of open spaces in Tokyo under the "Tokyo Urban Landscape Promotion　Ordinance." Open spaces enhance urban life quality and social　interaction. The study analyzes spatial planning trends and　utilization from 2022 reports using literature reviews and　surveys. Results show that fixed installations, store placement,　warehouse logistics, and canopy designs significantly influence　usage. The "peripheral arrangement" of installations and　multiple store placement enhance daily use, while well　considered warehouse logistics and canopy spaces support　diverse events. Effective planning considering active use and　weather resilience is crucial for future open space development.
