Why facilities that exclude “poor Japanese” are on the rise in Tokyo Osaka is open to the common people, and Tokyo is not much different from Niseko | City/Housing | Toyo Keizai 2024/09/30 6:30 Kazuki Tanigashira: Chain store researcher/writer While “Grand Green Osaka” opened in Osaka and was very well received, the new commercial facilities built in Tokyo are all pretty much the same. Why did it end up like this? (Photo by author) Contents 1. Shibuya becomes “upscale” through redevelopment 2. “Tokyu Kabukicho Tower” for inbound tourists 3. Is there diversity in Azabudai Hills? 4. Greenery is not just “nice” 5. Redevelopment that creates “things that don’t exist in the city” 6. Searching for a “different path” in redevelopment On September 6th, “Grand Green Osaka” was born in front of Umeda Station in Osaka. Umekita Park, an urban park located within the area, is extremely popular as an urban park. I previously explained, in a local report about Grand Green Osaka, that the key word in the redevelopment is “openness.” I was surprised not only by the open view, like the blue sky that can be seen from the grass plaza, but also by the fact that there are places to sit or lie down for free, and how open it is in the sense that it is open to all kinds of people. Not only the park, but also the North Building, which opened at the same time, was designed as “just space” within the building, giving the impression that it was open to a wide variety of people.

There is a lot of redevelopment going on there, but I found myself wondering if there is any “openness” in it. In fact, it even feels like many of these facilities are only aimed at the wealthy or tourists visiting Japan. Shibuya becomes “upscale” through redevelopment Shibuya is a notable example. Shibuya is currently undergoing its biggest redevelopment in 100 years, and many of the buildings being built there will have offices on the upper floors that are off-limits to anyone other than those involved, while the lower floors will be filled with high-end shops and restaurants. If it’s not an office, it often houses a luxury hotel. [13 photos] The Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, which is geared towards inbound tourists, is offering a surprising sight. In fact, Tokyu, which is promoting the redevelopment of Shibuya, is trying to transform Shibuya from a town for young people into a town for adults under the slogan “Make Shibuya a mecca for creative workers.” At the same time, Shibuya is also the city most visited by inbound tourists, which is likely why they are choosing to increase the number of facilities aimed at inbound tourists there. One of the aftereffects of this “gentrification” is that there is less space to stay in the city of Shibuya. I previously pointed out that all the chain cafes in Shibuya are crowded on weekends, and the post received a huge response. This shows that this redevelopment is gentrifying the city, leaving less space for ordinary people to stay. In urban theory, this upscale development of neighborhoods is called “gentrification,” and Shibuya may be a place where gentrification is truly underway. A post I made casually received a lot of support (Source: Author’s x) In that respect, I think that the decrease in space where anyone can sit is occurring noticeably everywhere in Shibuya. Unless you pay, you can’t even sit down. “Tokyu Kabukicho Tower” for inbound tourists (omitted) *See source for full text.
There are various techniques for expelling things, such as protruding chairs and wide-area fountains. Although it is inconvenient to use them normally.
Is Kabukicho Tower that crappy building that failed miserably with its genderless toilets?

The purpose of a country’s economy is to provide the necessities of its people. It’s not about increasing corporate nominal profits, raising stock prices, or getting things in the hands of foreigners. Currently, real wages are falling almost continuously. That means people are getting less. From an economic perspective, things are getting worse and worse. *Real wages fell 2.5% in 2011, the second consecutive year of declines and the lowest level since 1990 www.nikkei.com/article/dgxzqoua053n20v00c24a2000000/ If we look at things like nominal wage increases, stock price increases, land prices increases, and increases in financial assets, those were also achieved in Zimbabwe and Argentina when their economies collapsed. The Liberal Democratic Party and the Jewish-controlled media are simply spreading the word that shit is miso.
Osaka is redeveloping public land, and Tokyo is redeveloping private land. Don’t be so ridiculous as to say private land should be turned into an open facility that doesn’t generate profits.
