Heritage-led regeneration and decision-making processes in Tokyo's urban centers of Nihonbashi and Marunouchi are examined in this book. Jiewon Song highlights key institutions and actors, their collective actions as placemakers, and how they project the authenticity of urban places in planning processes. Song argues that heritage-led regeneration tends to monopolize authenticity by weakening the visibility of other cultural and historic qualities in urban places, leading to homogenization. As cities increasingly seek authenticity in the urban age, nation-states initiate top-down processes to achieve such ends, interweaving nationalism and national narratives into placemaking practices. Song challenges existing scholarship on urban conservation, global cities, and the notion of authenticity.
