Summary:While most studies of the creative city focus on the policy of government or local government, we study the creative city framework led by a private company. Concretely, we study the creative city planning framework by Tokyu Corporation on the Futako-Tamagawa area in Setagaya Ward in Tokyo. Based on the three “T’s” framework, which was advocated by Florida, we examine how the private company develops a creative city. Moreover, we address how the government and local government support it. Thereby, we reveal the actual conditions of the private company work on the creative city and suggest a private company strategy and a governmental measure of urban development.
