The explosive growth of Tokyo has caused various urban problems for future development in the 21st century. The most influential project on the future regional structure of the metropolis should be the construction of core business cities which aims to disperse the pivotal nature of business in the inner city to some new districts including main cities in the suburbs. One of the major factors central to the development of the Tokyo metropolitan area is the improvement of the infrastructure through the completion of the Kanto-belt high way which will connect most of the main cities in the suburbs each other. This is expected to facilitate transportation by reducing the traffic congestion in inner Tokyo. The key project in the redevelopment of Tokyo is The revitalization of the Tokyo Bay area. Under the leadership of the national government, many facilities which will drive information and micro-electronics technological innovation, etc. are in the process of being planned. This area will be very important ...

The paper advances five interrelated propositions: 1) That, as major sites of economic growth in the global economy, cities constitute an interconnected global system. 2) That contemporary cities are best understood as regional in the scale of their interdependencies and should be treated as functionally integrated territorial units. 3) That intercity cooperation across national boundaries as important as competition among cities for global capital. 4) That the call for a “sustainable” city is nothing less than a call for the “good city” with its dimensions of good governance, good management, and good out-comes.5) That the scale of megacities requires governance processes that are structured according to the twin principles of “subsidiarity” and “democratic participation.”

Equilibrium queuing patterns are analyzed in the context of a two-tandem bottleneck with two origins and one destination. The individual in the model chooses his/her departure time, considering the trade-off between travel time and schedule delay. At equilibrium, no one can alter his/her departure time in the sense of the Wardrop principle. Four different configurations are analyzed associated with the capacities of the upstream and the downstream bottlenecks and queuing start times at both bottlenecks. Queuing patterns are determined in the model. It is found that, in some cases, a queue does not occur at the upstream since the departure rate is always equal to its capacity level at equilibrium. Therefore, in order to avoid traffic congestion at a two-tandem bottleneck, the downstream should be enlarged prior to the upstream.
