*Illustrative imageRenewing old wooden shopping streets bit by bit
At the centers of regional cities, shopping streets remain where old wooden shops and row houses (nagaya) stand densely packed. Rather than rebuilding them all at once, the lab investigates the challenges and possibilities of repairing them one building at a time, in a chain, so that they can stay in use. This work takes place on site in places such as Fukui City.
*Illustrative imagePlaces for young people in regional cities
To help young people stay involved with towns outside the big cities, the lab examines places and ways of using space that suit each person's way of living. It also considers how to run workshops that use public spaces in the town center.
