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. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-07: Kawasaki urban redevelopment projects progress in Tama and Nakahara wards Kawasaki City is advancing major redevelopment projects, including landscape paving on Noborito No. 2 Line and the large-scale revitalization of Todoroki Green Space. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kawasaki-urban-redevelopment-projects-progress-in-tama-and-nakahara-wards ### 2026-10-25: Nakatsugawa City and JR Central launch urban design program Nakatsugawa City and JR Central are partnering on a regional design program to revitalize the historic Nakasendo post town through tactical urbanism and community-driven research. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nakatsugawa-city-and-jr-central-launch-urban-design-program --- Cite as: Japanese urban redevelopment and revitalization projects.
