Abstract

What kinds of power do capital cities of the world manifest in their built environments? This paper approaches capital cities' built environment from state power and urban power that inherently belongs to the city itself. Drawing the concept of urban power from urban sciences, the paper defines it as the combination of urban historical legacy, urban renewal power, and the economies of scale. Then, it explores the interplay between these two powers that are manifested in the landscape of Tokyo. It concludes that the landscape of capital city Tokyo manifests not only state power but also the dynamic of these two powers that play out in the simultaneously reinforcing and antagonizing manner.
