This paper looks into an example of heritage conservation based urban regeneration the Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building in order to examine how authenticity in contemporary urban place making is molded. As an integrated framework, it explores the 1994 Nara Document on Authenticity and adopts its authenticity conditions (form design, materials substance, use function, tradition techniques, location setting, and spirit feeling) to develop an analytical framework. It then identifies the force of socio economic and political considerations that led to the place shaping, and heritagization of Tokyo Station and determined its conservation rationale. Using the created analytical framework, the work then investigates how authenticity is molded out of heritage conservation based urban regeneration.
