Japanese urban redevelopment and revitalization projects
Overview
Various urban development initiatives are underway across different regions in Japan. In Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, a partnership between the city and JR Central titled ‘LOCAL RESEARCH LAB Nakatsugawa’ seeks to revitalize the central district. This program utilizes tactical urbanism to repurpose roads as public spaces and re-evaluate historic assets like vacant houses and alleys to foster deeper engagement from outside populations.
In Kawasaki City, redevelopment efforts are progressing in the Tama and Nakahara wards. In Tama Ward, projects are focused on improving walkability through landscape paving and utility undergrounding. In Nakahara Ward, the Todoroki Green Space redevelopment is proceeding under a PFI project. Despite significant budget increases, which saw costs rise from 63.3 billion yen to approximately 123.2 billion yen, the city is moving forward with plans for a new arena, a dedicated ball game venue, and new commercial outlets.
