摘要

This paper develops a “Tokyo model” of urban development during the 1955–1975 postwar period. To this end, data on physical attributes and socio-economic characteristics of neighborhoods is analyzed for administrative subunits of the Tokyo prefecture. It is found that a set of generic neighborhood features, distributed evenly across the special ward area, help explain why Tokyo's postwar development proceeded in an egalitarian fashion. The insights inform the debate on neighborhoods in today's Tokyo, and whether there were elements worth adapting or replicating elsewhere, particularly in developing megacities.
