A case study focuses on Shibuya Station Development as an example to examine the Japanese TOD model, which railway operators are acting as real estate developers to facilitate urban development and profit from providing infrastructure networks to increase density. This study inspects Japanese TOD models from three different scales of Japan, Tokyo, and Shibuya by introducing the history of Japanese TOD models, different station planning strategies for dense urban context or city expansion, space and program arrangement to tackle urban issues, the public-private partnership, and financial structure.
