Shibuya Common Suggestions(Sep.2002) Future A and Future B Shibuya Simulator Reference material

渋谷シミュレーター



The Shibuya Simulator is a landscape simulator developed to compare ideas for the redevelopment of Shibuya Station and its precincts, and show clearly how the new sections planned relate to the existing Shibuya cityscape. Anybody, not just local people but anyone with access to the requisite Internet environment (ADSL 12Mb or similar), can now use an ordinary PC browser to simulate different views of the Shibuya of the future. Currently the simulator provides the following three options

Future A Shibuya Station and precincts with decks and high-rise station buildings; in other words, a proposal to improve the pedestrian environment by means of large pedestrian decks, and erect above the station a station building complex including high-rises, with around three times the floor space of the current station.
Future B An alternative view of the future Shibuya Station and precincts. In this version, it is the pedestrian environment on the ground that is improved, with development above the station confined to retail facilities with around the same floor area as present, and other development transferred to the areas surrounding the station forecourts.
Shibuya now Shibuya Station and precincts as they appeared in autumn 2003 with the Bunka Kaikan, since demolished.



Users with broadband can download the Shibuya Simulator to experience the Shibuya cityscape the way Superman might do, i.e. from the air, and take part in our discussion on the future of Shibuya Station and the station precincts.

If you don't have broadband, take a look instead at the Shibuya Simulator snapshots below, arranged systematically. Again, we hope you'll join in our discussion on the future of Shibuya Station and its precincts.
