  • Exploring analytical frameworks for global city research - a case study of Tokyo

    Asato Saito

    Planning Division Seminar  2023.2  Department of Geography and Planning, University of Amsterdam

     More details

    Event date: 2023.2

    Language:English   Presentation type:Oral presentation (general)  

    Venue:Amsterdam, Netherland   Country:Japan  

    Urban planning / development policy in global cities, such as London, New York, Tokyo have been discussed within the framework developed by Friedmann, Sassen, Brenner and others. They emphasized the global economic forces and neoliberal policies as determinants of urban development and planning. It is no doubt that private developers and financial investors, together with competitiveness-driven and often entrepreneurial city governments have shaped the landscape of global cities.

    In the case of Japan, it is known that the national government plays a major role in the country’s economic development and policymaking. Although Japan is in the camp of liberal capitalist economy, is often regarded as “coordinated capitalism” (Vogel, 2006) compared to more market-oriented economy, also referred as “developmental state” (for example, Johnson 1982). This has two implications upon the study of Tokyo. One is inter-governmental relations between the national and local level. Though Japan is a centralized country, local government in large metropolitan region such as Tokyo has a degree of financial autonomy which could challenge national government. The other is the relationship between the state and the market, and the role of private capital. Some argued that the market operates within the parameters set by the government, and urban development is no exception.

    Today’s presentation discusses the above mentioned issues by drawing from my previous research on urban development and planning in Tokyo and its metropolitan region, which takes more state-centric perspective. It also tries to extend the discussion to the emerging debate about New State Capitalism (for instance, Alami and Dixon, 2021; Alami, et.al. 2022), who treat state as a relational entity.
