Abstract
This paper is focused on an analysis of the vertical land use mixture in inner urban Tokyo area in scope for the designation of Special District for Restriction to Residencial Use on Upper Floors (Chu-kousou-kai-juukyo-sennyou-chiku) introduced in 1992. The author adopted the GIS data which collected by the local government for typological analysis of the land use mixture among different zoning areas. He first classified the target area into three groups (business, residencial, and mixed) by mixture of residencial and commercial-business floor area ratio. He also analysed the political difficulties and the growth potencial of housing by comparison of the existence of high-rise non-residencial buildings and the difference betweend esignated FAR and existing building volume. He concluded many zones are prepared to be designated.
