AboutAbout the lab
How to create sustainable, compact cities
The Public Space Planning Lab studies how to create sustainable, compact cities, building on urban planning, urban design, and landscape planning.
Its subjects are specific places, such as high-density urban areas in Asian cities, projects in the Fukuoka metropolitan area, the Itoshima Peninsula, university campuses, streets, and plazas.
Targeting spaces at various scales, from individual buildings as units to urban space as a collection of them, the lab considers methods of planning, spatial design, and evaluation.
The keywords of its research are interaction, landscape, area management, and community development (machizukuri).
Key terms
- Landscape
- The "visible environment" that results from the overlap of various environmental elements. The theme is how landscapes are composed.
- Viewing position (shitenba)
- A point from which a landscape is viewed. The lab studies methods for finding points that offer picturesque views.

ResearchResearch themes
Centered on how to create sustainable, compact cities, the lab studies interaction environments, landscapes, and urban environmental management in Asia, as well as university campuses and cities. Through practice and research in planning and design, it aims to help students master fundamental theory and acquire specialized knowledge and skills.
*Illustrative imageEnvironments of Cities and University Campuses
The lab's task is for cities and universities to collaborate in responding to urban issues and to develop suitable campus environments. It investigates urban regeneration, the composition of master plans, and urban landscapes centered on campuses, including international comparisons.
*Illustrative imageInteraction Environments in Cities
To clarify what interaction environments suited to recent changes in lifestyle should look like, the lab establishes methods for understanding actual conditions and evaluating spaces. Focusing on university campuses and station plazas, it examines their spatial composition and characteristics through international comparison.
*Illustrative imageLandscape Evaluation and Discovery of Viewing Positions
The task is to use criteria for what makes a landscape beautiful as indicators, and to clarify how landscapes are composed and where viewing positions lie. The lab has tried to develop a method that extracts reference values from the compositions of Impressionist landscape paintings and ukiyo-e landscape prints, applies them to actual landscapes, and searches for viewing positions that offer picturesque views.
*Illustrative imageUrban Environmental Management in Asia
The task is to clarify the actual state of the environments of historic cities in Indonesia, China, South Korea, and elsewhere, and the management methods involved in shaping them.
