Urban Regeneration Management Lab (Takeda Lab)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies and puts into practice strategies in cities and towns, together with the people involved.
AboutAbout the lab
Co-creating with people, with cities and towns as the stage.
The Urban Co-creation Design Lab studies and puts into practice strategies for creating, together with people, the places, things, experiences, and moments that enrich society, with cities and towns as its field.
The lab holds that phenomena occurring in cities and towns arise from complex factors amid diversifying values, lifestyles, social systems, science and technology, and ethics.
Specifically, it studies the role of people who engage with a region from outside, mechanisms for community building with resident participation, and the evaluation of comfort and pedestrian circulation in cities and towns.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Urban Co-creation Design Lab (Takeda Lab)."
Key terms
- Relationship population
- A concept positioned between the resident population and the visitor population (so-called tourists). Such people are expected to contribute to regional revitalization
- Endogenous development
- Development within a region that occurs in response to stimulus from outside the region. Also called local innovation
- Imaginary future generations
- People of the future who are brought into consensus-building forums for community building
ResearchResearch themes
Cities and towns involve diverse people, not only residents but also workers and visitors. This lab studies the role of people who engage with a region from outside, community building with resident participation, the evaluation of cities and towns, and the use of local resources.
*Illustrative imageVisitors from Outside and Regional Development
The lab studies the stimulus brought by visitors and newcomers from outside the region, and the endogenous development that this stimulus triggers within the region. Recently, it has been investigating the factors that give rise to a "relationship population" and the process by which ties with a region deepen.
*Illustrative imageResident-Participatory Community Building That Includes Future Generations
The lab supports the creation of visions for a region's future that include not only residents but also workers and visitors. By creating consensus-building forums that also include people of the future (imaginary future generations), it explores community-building methods that are acceptable to every generation.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating Comfort and Pedestrian Circulation in Cities and Towns
The lab evaluates cities by analyzing data on people's movement, statistical materials, and field survey data. It also examines ways to use local resources such as real estate development and vacant houses, and takes part in the development of new areas.
