Roads used to be places for activities, not just transportation. Now, efforts are underway all over the world to move from car-centered to people-centered "walkable cities." Following the positive reception at the Sarugaku Festival Symposium last fall, this seminar series was launched with the aim of realizing the "ideal street." The third session will feature Ken Hasebe, Mayor of Shibuya Ward, and Ryosuke Higashiura, Managing Executive Officer of Tokyu Corporation.

As the once-in-a-century renovation of Shibuya drastically changes its appearance, public-private partnership urban development projects are underway in various parts of Shibuya Ward, and efforts are being made to create a "walkable city" by utilizing a variety of local resources, such as cultural facilities, public open spaces, and greenery in parks. What kind of projects are currently underway in Shibuya Ward, and under what vision? How is "walkability" conceived and being realized? The mayor of Shibuya Ward, who is at the forefront of the project, and the initiator of the redevelopment talk together.
