# TOD

What is TOD?

TOD was first proposed in the United States in the early 1990s. Over 30 years have passed since then, and various TOD initiatives have been undertaken not only in Japan but also around the world, further developing the original concept and adding new elements, with great results and new possibilities becoming apparent. Yasuo KANNAMI, Vice President of Global Company and General Manager of the International Project Management Dept. who engaged in both domestic and internal TOD projects in PACIFIC CONSULTANTS, Masaya NAKANO, General Manager of the Urban and Transportation Sec. of the International Smart Planning Dept. of Global Company, and Hidetoshi TAMAOKA, Chief Project Manager, talk about the present and future of TOD as seen through their initiatives.

Taking Responsibility for the "Once In a Century" Shibuya Great Renovation  <Part 2>

The large-scale redevelopment of the area around Shibuya station is said to be a "once in a century" event, not because many skyscrapers will be built. It is because it is an attempt to reinvent the area into a completely new town through cooperation between the public and private sectors, moving the station, changing the flow of the river, and creating a new pedestrian network. Moreover, it is unprecedented in that it will be realized while maintaining the functions of a huge terminal. PACIFIC CONSULTANTS has been involved in this project since the early planning stages and continues to support it up to day. We talked to five people who have been central persons in the project for many years: Ryuji KOWAKI, Hisashi KUBO, Takayasu NIWA, Yoshio NAMIKI, and Terue KAMINO.
