Kenzo Tange ‘ 1960 plan for Tokyo was proposed at a time when many cities in the industrial world were experiencing the height of urban sprawl.... Tange attempted to impose a newphysical order on Tokyo, which would accommodate the city’s continued expansion and internal regeneration. The scheme, featuring a linear series of interlocking loops expanding Tokyo across the bay, has. often been regarded as initiating the decade-long megastructural movement. Its theoretical contribution to contemporary urbanism, however, remains understudied.
