Since Edo was renamed Tokyo, the city has been extending on its bay by creating artificial land, at first for defensive reasons, then for industrial one afterwards. Most of these reclaimed lands were built during the industrial period, cutting the inhabitants from their bay. Nowadays, Tokyo tries to resettle itself in diverse poles. Odaiba is one of them. It consists of a complex including residential, commercial and office buildings. Through this program, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government shows its wish to extend the urban tissue of the city to the water. The next step will be to reconvert the area between Odaiba and the rest of Tokyo. Odaiba was developed following a master plan which contrast with the chaos of the city. Moreover, built on an empty and isolated land, its context gives to this district a great homogeneity and then the feeling to be somewhere else. Odaiba presents a new type of settle which starts to be more and more used, but it still to early to judge this model.
