Tokyo Metropolitan University

Graduate School of Urban Environmental Sciences Department of Urban System Science

首都大学東京 大学院都市環境科学研究科 都市システム科学域

□ Department Overview Urban growth progressed rapidly in the 20th century. Now, 50% of the

world’s population and 80% of Japan’s live in cities. Meanwhile, Japan’s

decreasing birthrate has led to rapidly aging urban populations and

aggressive changes in society. More than ever, it is important to promote

urban development that prioritizes the utilization of stock, disaster

preparedness, and sustainability, and the application of highly advanced

information technology. The Department of Urban System Science

focuses on comprehensive research on issues that modern cities face.

□ Characteristics of the Curriculum

Students come to the graduate school with a broad range of specialties and experience

from universities around the nation and around the globe. The Department of Urban System

Science provides this diverse student population lectures and practical experience in a number

of academic areas. The majority of classes are small-group lectures of from three to ten

students. Saturday classes are also offered to accommodate working adults. The department

has a multidisciplinary research support system that features Urban Science Seminars, a

unique program in which all teachers participate to provide instruction to students enrolled in

the master’s and doctoral programs. Students in the master’s program have the opportunity to

participate in 5 seminars, and students in doctoral program have the opportunity to participate

in 4 seminars. Students are able to acquire degrees in Urban Science, which is the specialty

of this department, and are also able to select Engineering or Science depending on their

individual specialty.

□ History

The predecessor of the Department of Urban System Science was the Urban System

Research Group founded as an interdisciplinary joint research group for urban systems at

Tokyo Metropolitan University at the beginning of 1960’s. The Urban Community Research

Center was established in 1977, and, in 1994, the Graduate School of Urban Sciences was

founded as the first graduate school for interdisciplinary research on urban systems in Japan.

In 2006, the graduate school was reorganized into its current form. The achievements of

research and education over its almost 50-year history have been published in the Urban

System Research Library and Urban Sciences Library.

□ Admission Policy

Students the Department of Urban System Science in interested in1. Individuals in possession of a broad range of theories, knowledge, and techniques related 　to the urban sciences; 2. Individuals who have extensive knowledge in specific fields associated with urban systems 　and the ability to conduct research in those fields;3. Individuals with a solid sense of humanity, who are social and cooperative, and who have 　a strong moral compass; 4. Individuals who have a broad perspective, who think internationality and who have　proficiency in language; 5. Individuals who are able to flexibly implement new technologies and concepts; and 6. Individuals who have practical ability in finding comprehensive solutions to urban　problems. The department evaluates the above through oral interview conducted as a part of the entrance examination.

□ Message from the DeanFumiko Ito

Chairperson, Department of Urban System Science

While Japan’s population continues to decrease, cities continue to

grow. Ninety percent of Japan’s population is currently living in urban

areas. Among these are rapidly increasing areas of high population

density, or densely-inhabited districts (DID), where 2/3 of the nation’s

population lives. People are social animals, and living together in

communities is a human characteristic. This means that the growth of

urban areas is an inevitability of society. Indeed, the creation and growth

of urban areas is a subject of intense academic inquiry, and a topic that I

personally find both extremely important and exhilarating.

When we consider what a city is, we can imagine a large platter

on which people live, work, interact and move about. The design of

the platter not only influences the movement of people, but it is also

influenced in turn by the movement and thoughts of the people existing

on it. There are many issues that we need to address as we move into the

future, issues such as urban development that responds to aging society,

with a focus on the utilization of stock, disaster preparedness, and

sustainability. We also need to consider desirable development that takes

into account the Olympics scheduled to be held in Tokyo six years from

now.

The Department of Urban System Science supports research on cities,

the attractive and inevitable focus in our search for answers. I hope that

students interested in finding solutions to the challenges of urban growth

will join us in the exciting research that takes place in our department.
