Creating "Osaka MIDORI LIFE" Centered on Greenery
This urban redevelopment project, located in Osaka’s last prime real estate location, is integrated with an urban park on an eight-hectare former rail yard site north of JR Osaka Station. At 45,000 square meters in area, it is one of the world's largest urban parks, and directly connected to the largest station terminal in western Japan. The mixed-use development integrates various urban functions under the concept of creating "Osaka MIDORI (GREEN) LIFE.” The diverse landscapes inspired by Osaka's rich history and culture, together with public spaces networked with the architecture, will help to forge a new, healthy urban lifestyle. It will become a model for sustainable development for Japan’s future, appealing not merely to foreign tourists, but to everyday citizens as well.
