Tokyo – Nishi-Shinjuku: Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Hall, Sumitomo Birudingu, and Shinjuku Mitsui Biru


Image by wallyg
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Assembly Hall, part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building complex, was built to the design of Kenzo Tange in 1991. The hall is a seven-story curved building that connects to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Tower One via skywalks at the edges, encircling a formidable courtyard. T?ky?-to gikai (?????), or the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, the prefectural parliament of Tokyo, meets here. T?ky?-to Ch?sha (?????), or The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, also referred to as Tokyo City Hall or Toch? (??) for short, houses the headquarters of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which governs not only the 23 wards, but also the cities, towns and villages that make up Tokyo as a whole.

The Shinjuku Sumitomo Birudingu (??????????), or Shinjuku Sumitomo Building, located at 2-6-1 Nishi-Shinjuku, houses the head office of Sumitomo, one of the largest keiretsu, founded by Masatomo Sumitomo. The 52 story, 210.3-meter high modernist tower was completed in 1974 to the design of Nikken Sekkei. The building’s three-sided construction makes good use of available space, yet its design sacrifices valuable floor space by including a massive atrium running the entire height of the building. At the time of completion, its elevators were the fastest in the world at 540 meters per minute.

Shinjuku Mitsui Biru (??????), or the Shinjuku Mitsui Building, at 2-1-1 Nishi-Shinjuku, was built in 1974 by developer Mitsui Fudosan to the design of Nihon Sekkei. At the time of its completion, the 55-story, 225-meter skyscraper was the tallest building in Tokyo and Japan–a title it held until the Sunshine 60 Building was built 4 years later.

Cause and effect


Image by New Orleans Lady
BW Cooper Government Housing Development – New Orleans, Louisiana

Some are not really causes
But just symptoms
And we misdiagnose
A sickness
For a symptom
Of the real sickness
The cause
And the effect
Are often interchanged

For instance
Is poverty the cause
Of crime
Or is poverty
Only the symptom
Of it?

For instance
Is ignorance
The cause of poverty
Or is it simply
An effect of poverty?

Or is poverty
Nothing but an effect
Of ignorance?

Or is poverty is
Just an effect
Of an oppression
Of the rich
Taking much
From the poor
Who gets poorer
Everyday
Because there
Are no reforms
Coming
To solve
His poverty
His ignorance
His having to commit a crime
To survive
His poverty
His ignorance
His being a crime
Of
Society itself
who never cared
And wanted him
Who never
Instituted the much
Promised reforms?

And so you doubt
The cause and effect
The effect from cause
And if you did not mind so
Well
They may always be
Interchanged
And mistaken
For the symptoms
The conditions
That always
Are
there deceiving.

Government Canyon State Natural Area, Bexar County, Texas. One of the state’s newest parks, a large Hill Country natural reserve on the outskirts of San Antonio.

Government Canyon was opened to the public in 2005, several thousand acres of brushy canyonlands along the former Joe Johnston Road in the far northwest corner of Bexar County. Several thousand acres straddling the Balcones Escarpment and Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone – with several miles of easy to moderate hiking trails. Unfortunately, the park is only open four days a week, and the majority of the park closes very early in the afternoon, so hiking opportunities are limited. First visit was on March 21st, 2008 – up along the Joe Johnston Route and back. Return visit was longer, out along the Far Reaches Trail and back through Wildcat Canyon, with a side-visit to the remains of the abandoned Wildcat Canyon Ranch. Just a normal day-hike through the hill hot, dry Texas Hill Country. There’s still more of the park to explore, especially in the far back corners of the park (such as the Zizelman House and Government Springs, and a section of the park that is closed off for half the year) that will be left for future trips.

Rogers City Mayor Beach Hall Testifies Before Michigan Senate Finance Committee


Image by Michigan Municipal League (MML)
The Michigan Senate Finance committee Thusday, Nov. 4, 2010 took testimony on a package of bills that the League has been pushing for a couple of years. The League’s Summer Minnick, Director of State Affairs for the League, testified along with Shea Charles, City Manager of Howell and Chair of the League’s Municipal Finance committee as well as Beach Hall, Mayor of Rogers City on the importance of these bills. The bills, HBs 5550 – 5554 would, generally speaking, allow local communities the opportunity to refinance existing non-voted debt in order to better handle challenging fiscal times. Many communties have expressed an interest in these bills and the committee hearing is a great step forward in this process. The bills have already passed the House. There was a substitute adopted that made minor changes to the approval process and we now are optimistic that the bills will be passed at the next Senate Finance committee next week. This is one of the League’s lame duck priorities and we are hopeful we can get the legislature to provide some tools for struggling municipalities before the end of this session! For more about the League and what we do go to mml.org. For additional blog posts by Summer Minnick and other League staff go here: www.mml.org/advocacy/inside208
