Abstract
Japan is short of land resource, thus the city construction is extremely integrated. Building complex in Japan is highly developed, usually a marriage of building and urban rail transport, to realize a point to point junction of traffic & property. Based on the writer’s research on the newly accomplished Shibuya Station Super high-rise Building Complex (2012), Tokyo Midtown (2007) and Hakata Station transportation Building Complex (2011), the report tries to explore the development and design idea of the building complex in Japan.

The regional statutory floor-area ratio is of 9.0, but through the application of “Urban Regeneration Law concerning Special Measures”, Shibuya Station HIKARIE (recognized urban regeneration project) is reduced restrictions.

According to the provisions of “the Basic Law of the Japanese construction” on “integrated design license”: “Project which has a land area of more than a certain size, traffic, security, fire, health, without obstacles, have more than a certain percentage of open space in the base of the urban compensated volume rate of environmental improvement of buildings, floor area ratio and height can be added to the number, to ensure that the proportion of urban public space as determined by the base.”
