The Japanese urban alleyway, which was once part of people's
personal spatial sphere and everyday life has been transformed by
diverse and competing interests. Marginalised through the emergence
of new forms of housing and public spaces, re-appropriated by
different fields, and re-invented by the contemporary urban design
discourse, the social meaning attached to the roji is being
re-interpreted by individuals, subcultures and new social
movements. The book will introduce and discuss examples of urban
practices which take place within the dynamic urban landscape of
contemporary Tokyo to portray the life cycle of an urban form being
rediscovered, commodified and lost as physical space.
