Abstract
The following paper presents the results obtained during the analyses of th e street structure of Tokyo, focusing on six districts: Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Ueno, Nakano and Aoto. The length-area relation in the chosen zo nes shows the presence of the analogue of a fractal dimension. The fractal dimension appears in these high-density street zones branching within a lim ited territory.
