REINVENTING SHIBUYAWith more than one million daily passengers, Shibuya is one of the busiest stations in the world. Shibuya, commonly known as a hotspot for fashion and youth culture, is located in a valley at the bottom of which the transportation hub sits.With its six stations and eight rail lines from both public and private train operators, transfer between trains as well as with Tokyo’s largest bus terminal nearby has for a long time challenged planning and development in Shibuya’s center. After several extensions during the evolution of the station, the point had been reached where it could no longer provide suitable comfort for the steadily growing number of passengers, and station building structure also had not kept up with latest building standards and requirements.In December 2005, the area around Shibuya Station was designated for high-priority urban renewal.
