Tokyo

is a modern decentralized metropolis in which the inhabitant is never physically orientated, for travel is between experiences rather than places with no sense of city plan.

John Thackera, for instance, sees the Japanese capital as a city of a 'new geography'-the modern decentralized metropolis in which the inhabitant is never physically orientated, for travel is between experiences rather than places with no sense of city plan. It is also the city of new building types - buildings-as-news, superbly detailed short-life buildings with 'sufficient design or fashion charisma' to raise the public profile and real estate values oftheir immediate environs (fhackera, 1989, pp. 66--67).
