Sustainable Housing Planning Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores housing and community development in places such as hillside residential areas from the perspective of architectural planning.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about community development through the relationship between housing and space.
From the perspective of architectural planning, the Sustainable Housing Planning Lab focuses on the relationship between people's lives and space, and studies local housing and community development, facility planning, and related topics.
In densely built residential areas and hillside residential areas, the lab continuously takes part in projects to improve living environments and in residents' community development activities, carrying out its research in cooperation with resident organizations and government departments.
In recent years, the lab has studied hillside residential areas, investigating how population decline hollows out these neighborhoods and worsens their living environments.
The lab also puts effort into developing community development methods built on activities in which local organizations, such as neighborhood associations, manage their own living environments.
