The way people gather has changed dramatically!
Learn about future urban development from the forefront of urban space.

This study group will explore new ways to bring people together in urban spaces and get to the forefront of content development. We will invite architect and pop urbanism researcher Wataru Nakamura as guest and learn about innovative examples from around the world, such as "container stalls," "food trucks," and "shared bookstores."

If you are interested in making Tokyo and other urban spaces more fun and updated, don't miss this opportunity. Please register as soon as possible.

We look forward to your participation!
