Tokyo is the largest city in the world. The image
of the city, notwithstanding the widespread globalisation process,
is very different to what we are accustomed to in Europe, America
and also in other Asian countries. The visual and cultural shock is
strong: it appears extremely vast, uncontrollable, indecipherable,
incommunicable, and chaotic.
Tokyo is one of the few global cities, and, like London, New
York and perhaps one or two others, is part of a real
trans-national system. It is an extraordinary capital of
contemporary architecture and, at the same time, constitutes an
exceptional urban phenomenon that is impossible not to study with
great interest. More importantly is the fact that, behind an
apparently abstract debate, the city poses a substantial problem:
does it represent the final decay of the Western city or rather is
it something completely different, a city with its own deep-rooted
historical diversity and specific cultural independence that has
not been substantially modified by the powerful and recent
hybridisation with the West? And also, does the city interest us
for these reasons or rather because it is/appears to be the city
which – not being a part of the Eastern tradition – has, more than
any other place, embraced the challenge of the new millennium and
projected itself into the future, spurring rapid change with the
energy, recklessness and aggression that is possible only in a
place that has never been part of a tradition, to the point that it
has substantiated a new symbolic form in the urban phenomenology of
the twenty-first century?
