Under the premises of Land-Value-Capture, both public and private rail companies have pursued the extension of their rail networks in exchange for the increase of real estate in proximity to stations. This historic evolution not only places Japan amongst the world’s pioneers for transit-oriented development(TOD), but also is a reminder of the long history of private involvement in urban development.Nikken Sekkei with its broad experience and expertise has emerged into a leading consultancy rm in the area of station-integrated urban design. Envisioning dense, multi-functional and connected transportation hubs which integrate the station’s surrounding neighborhood both functionally and physically, we try to maximize development opportunities around transit stations.With the understanding that the majority of transit users are also pedestrians for some segments of their trip, we promote the design of coherent and continuous pedestrian circulation routes to and between transit stations. This makes it convenient and attractive for people to use, raises the overall quality of transit, and maximizes the connection and hence integration with the surrounding city.Nikken Sekkei has an excellent track-record of successful and innovative station area designs, including complex projects with a variety of urban stakeholders involved. Our services extend to providing consulting services to manage the interests of railway companies, private land owners and municipal authorities, a role that becomes more important, the more complex the project is.Maximizing development potential and user comfort by envisioning dense, multi-functional and highly integrated station districts.
