Fibercity: a vision for cities in the age of shrinkage

摘要

This study emerged from a research programme that had the city of Tokyo as its main field of investigation. The research was co-ordinated by Hidetoshi Ohno and supported by a large team of students, researchers and professors. The aim was to devise a development strategy for Tokyo in the year 2050, according to a scenario of population shrinkage. Centred on the built fabric, infrastructures and ecological systems, Fibercity proposes a planning theory, while testing formal solutions that seek to regenerate and restructure a derelict and increasingly unoccupied urban fabric. As a concept, it revolves around three key morphological components: linear structural elements, urban flows, and places.
