Case 02 | Tsukuba Express Town

Tsukuba Express (TX) is a railway constructed between Tokyo (Akihabara) and Tsukuba Science City under special measures enforced for the integrated promotion of residential land and railway developments. It was also planned to provide congestion relief of existing railways and promotion of residential land development (system length: approx. 58km, 20 stations in minimum 45mins). Of a total of approx. 3,300ha of 20 development districts along the TX line, UR implemented the land readjustment project of 7 districts, a total of 1,600ha. At the same time we made efforts to secure land for the railway within the development areas, which contributed significantly to the early launch of railway services and the vitalization of the surrounding areas.

Locations : Yashio City and Misato City, Saitama Nagareyama City and Kashiwa City, Chiba Tsukuba City, Ibaraki
Site area : Approx. 3,300ha
