A lab that researches and puts into practice social systems that incorporate the perspective of future generations.

Keishiro Hara's lab studies Future Design, which designs and puts into practice social systems for passing a sustainable society on to future generations. Combining engineering with social psychology and economics, the lab investigates how mechanisms such as "imaginary future generations" change human decision-making and consensus building. The lab works with stakeholders such as local governments, government agencies, and industry, and also carries out practical projects in urban development, carbon neutrality, and disaster prevention. A defining feature of the lab is that it pursues theoretical research and real-world practice in tandem.
