description

A revolutionary replacement of the closed radial-ring structure of the city, which had developed historically, was proposed for a three-dimensional “linear” scheme of a growing planning scheme with a modular transport system that ensures the free development of functional areas towards and above Tokyo Bay. The principal in the project was the use of the Tokyo Bay water area as a huge territorial reserve for the city’s development.
