Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the concept of sustainability of common space in dense urban environment. This paper analyzes historical evolution of the riverside common space, Kameshima-Kashi, in down town Tokyo, from Meiji to Heisei era, comparing to Kayaba-kashi and Reigan-kashi. These Kashi were used as offloading places and warehouses. In Meiji Era, they were focused, because of superb maritime traffic and connecting to the new financial center of Tokyo, Kabuto-cho. After Great Kanto Earthquake, decline of water transportation system made the function of Kashi reduced. After Olympic Games in 1964, kashi were sold to compensate the financial deficit of Tokyo Metropolitan. Nevertheless, there left a little public domain which still underlies the segmented private land ownership.
