About This Issue:

Some are concerned about the redevelopment that has been changing the cityscape dramatically, but others insist this constant transition, is the real nature of the city so we should think before we criticize. One of my friends defines the “urban city” as a space where something unexpected, as well as someone usual, could be found. I wonder if that means the city is composed according to those pre-established factors, but on the other hand, it does have “blank spaces” to allow those exceptions to simultaneously occur. If we define Tokyo as where we live, work and go out as “my city”, it’s not about possession, but instead about fascination. We may feel enthusiastic about exploring the town, and discovering something new that attracts us. So how we find the things? It’s all up to you. Tokyo is vast and infinite.
