CONCEPT

The Umekita Project challenges the conventional paradigms of urban development to contribute to building a society where we accept the diversity of all nationalities, ages, genders and special needs, understand each other’s wisdom, and strive for an improvement in the quality of life for each person. To meet this goal, we will create an urban space brimming with vitality in harmony with Midori (green), with facilities as a starting point for innovation, and with places and initiatives where citizens and businesses can challenge themselves to engage in new ventures, thus delivering the energetic, creative life model “Osaka Midori Life” from the Umekita district to the Kansai region, and then to the rest of Japan and the world.
