The rapid increase in large-scale redevelopment projects in Tokyo’s inner-city has demonstrated the shortcomings in Japan’s ‘flexible’ urban planning system. While authorities explain many of these redevelopments as being necessary for disaster prevention and economic revitalization, citizen opposition to some projects has fuelled ongoing debates about public participation. Pundits of Japanese cities often hail Tokyo as a successful example of flexible urban planning that allows for a more market-led approach to development through loose regulations. This research highlights the controversies around this approach and its implications as residents attempt to influence the transformation of their neighbourhoods. A study of the legal framework and the internal processes governing redevelopment projects in three Tokyo neighbourhoods reveals Japan's consensus-building approach, which prioritizes rights-holders while lacking specific requirements for the participation of the surrounding residents. By critically examining Tokyo’s large-scale redevelopments, this paper questions Tokyo’s suitability as a developmental model and advocates for striking a better balance between flexibility and participation.

Although the suburbs of numerous cities worldwide are shrinking, research on how to address suburban decline remains scarce. This paper explores participatory mapping in shrinking suburbs as a tool to articulate knowledge co-creation between local officials and communities to inform planning decisions. The paper argues that participatory planning helps to identify sweet spots, everyday life community spaces upon which to anchor regeneration strategies. Using as a case study Minamiashigara, a shrinking suburb of Tokyo, the paper discusses how sweet spots can be integrated into existing municipal strategies to alleviate the consequences of shrinkage.

Planners worldwide are exploring ways to regenerate shrinking cities, varying from pro-growth strategies with the aim of reversing population losses, to strategies that manage urban decline by adjusting the built environment to a smaller population. However, both approaches are reactionary rather than anticipatory, addressing decline after substantial shrinkage has happened. This paper examines the relationship between place identity and attachment and urban shrinkage, arguing that reinforcing place attachment based on building a strong local identity can help cities reduce the negative consequences of shrinkage. We propose an identity-building method that can become the base for design strategies fostering place identity and attachment. The paper applies this method to Chōfu, one of Tokyo’s bedroom towns, which is currently developing strategies to anticipate its future shrinkage. The method collects the radically exterior perceptions of international visitors to trigger conversations with local stakeholders with the final aim of finding critical elements to consider when developing design strategies to anticipate decline. Policymakers and planners are better advised to consider alternatives to business-as-usual approaches to shrinkage, so that regeneration strategies can be more significantly linked with the specifics of the place and how it is perceived, achieving a higher attachment and involvement with residents.
