History
edit
In 1937, the area of Toyosu was created onreclaimed land.[8]There were dockyard, power plant, gas plant, freight station, warehouses till the early 1990s. Its proximity to central Tokyo made it valuable real estate, so the redevelopment was robust. Highrise apartments, office buildings, shopping centres were built one after another.
The former gas plant site was chosen in 2001 by former Governor of TokyoShintarō Ishiharafor relocatingTsukiji fish market,[9]but there was a longstanding controversy over this plan due to the toxic contamination of the chosen relocation area.[10]The move to Toyosu Market was planned to have taken place in November 2016, in preparation for the2020 Summer OlympicsinTokyo.[11]Part of the plan was to retain a retail market, roughly a quarter of the current operation, in Tsukiji.[12]
On 31 August 2016, the Tsukiji fish market move was postponed.[13]The Tsukiji fish market was caught in a controversy with the shop owners surrounding the former fish market rioting as they would lose their job if the fish market transfers its location.[14]Opening of the fish market was subsequently rescheduled for 11 October 2018 despite concerns about pollution.[15]
