Regional Revitalization Design
「しごとづくり、ひとづくりによる地域創生」
Purpose
This project focuses on fostering entrepreneurs who will become the bearers of a regional "Supra-structure" (economy, society, culture, history, etc.). Considering the interplay among "Social Capital", "Infrastructure" (transportation, information and communication, etc.) and the "Supra-structure", we conduct research on the direction of regional systems and the design of their architecture from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
In doing so, we hope to implement these findings in collaboration with large cities, in order to revitalize the regional economy and promote the well-being and resilience of local communities (work, life, and enjoyment).
