Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City Innovation Campus
Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City Innovation Campus, with which we have been involved as a design consultant for urban design guidelines, won the BEST FUTURA MEGA PROJECT Award at MIPIM,* an international real estate event held in Cannes, France in March 2017.
This project aims at the development of an attractive city from a human perspective through the creation of a sustainable and high-quality urban space. As a designer consultant, we have been engaged in the development of an urban design proposal in collaboration with U.S.-based design firm, ZGF Architect LLP. This prize has been awarded to this project which presents a vision of all the possibilities of future town planning, the development of an environmentally-friendly city, and the formation of a community with strong roots in the region.
