Tokyo public space networks at the intersection of the commercial and the domestic realms (Part III) study on transit urban centers

The domestic qualities that Tokyo offers to accommodate urban nomadism are found not only at the interior and building scales addressed in Part I and II, respectively but also at the district scale.

By means of this comparison, relevant conclusions for architectural and urban planning can be extracted in order to construct an alternative to gentrifying urbanism. This alternative.
