The Machizukuri Lab studies methods of design, planning, and management for regenerating communities and towns. The lab coordinates its own community development projects and builds up its practice-based research through them. The lab's central activity is to explore methodologies, techniques, and the basic theories that support them from many angles, and to apply them to real community development efforts. Students interested in applying technologies such as spatial design and GIS to community development, or in theoretical research, are also welcome.

The International Wastewater Epidemiology Lab studies wastewater-based epidemiology, a field that reads the spread of infectious diseases from pathogens such as viruses found in wastewater. Viruses shed by infected people travel through the sewer system and gather at wastewater treatment plants. Using this sewer system is expected to make it possible to detect outbreaks of infectious diseases early and to track how epidemics are moving. The lab is an industry-funded collaborative research course (a corporate-sponsored endowed chair), and conducts joint research with Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and Shimadzu Corporation.

The Socio-Ecological Systems Lab studies human society and natural ecosystems as a single system in which each influences the other. The lab works on improving the performance of wastewater treatment by using microbial communities, with the aim of improving urban water environments. It also studies how human society can be sustained within the larger natural environment, including natural disasters. Located at Kashiwa Campus, the lab consists of two labs: the Sato-Kazama Lab and the Onuki Lab.

The Urban Sanitary Engineering Lab studies the microbiological safety of urban water, focusing mainly on viruses in water. Waterborne infectious diseases tend to be seen as a problem of developing countries, but even in developed countries, delivering sufficiently safe water is not easy. Looking across drinking water supply, the water environment, and sewage together, the lab traces where disease-causing microorganisms come from and where they go. On that basis, it aims to make urban water safe through environmental engineering technologies.

The Regional Circular and Symbiotic Systems Lab studies the flows of resources and energy in cities and regions, and the environmental impacts that come with them. The lab conducts research on systems that circulate and reuse resources accumulated in cities, and on systems for managing energy at the regional level. The lab takes a scientific approach to how the environment, society, and the economy can coexist, and aims to implement such systems in communities to help realize a decarbonized society and a circular society. The lab was newly established in FY2020.
Takaaki Kato, Professor

Kato Lab studies "Regional Safety Systems," which examines the community mechanisms that allow everyone to live safely and with peace of mind. Focusing on districts where buildings, roads, and other structures are concentrated, the lab scientifically evaluates how vulnerable urban areas are to natural disasters. The lab practices disaster-resilient community planning together with residents and local governments on the ground, and also studies preparation for recovery after disasters. It addresses not only earthquakes but also large-scale floods that take climate change into account.

The Urban Planning Lab studies how to create and maintain cities and the living spaces that extend beyond them. From the standpoint of urban planning, the lab addresses challenges such as reducing environmental impact, disaster prevention and mitigation, and adapting to population decline and a super-aged society. Its main interests include visions of urban space and ways to realize them, changes in land use and urban form and how to influence them, and methods for industry, government, and citizens to collaborate in building and managing cities. The lab also works on how to collect and represent the urban information this requires, as well as digital transformation (DX) for urban and community development.
