Tokyo is changing. In this symposium, scholars from socio-spatial disciplines discussed several issues related to contemporary Tokyo especially how the city would become after the Olympics 2020. The symposium marks the beginning of the collaborative research project on Tokyo Studies by I-AUD staff members and collaborators.
