Started "WORK PARK PACK", a social experiment project aiming to reconstruct public spaces

Looking for experimental partners and utilization ideas for the river space "Shibuya River Street" along the Shibuya River

Future Design Shibuya (hereinafter referred to as Future Design Shibuya) is a social experiment project "WORK PARK PACK" that utilizes the waterside space "Shibuya River Street" along the Shibuya River as an initiative aimed at rebuilding public spaces. Will start on March 1st (Friday) with ULTRA PUBLIC PROJECT (* 1). Along with that, we are looking for experimental partners and the first utilization idea at this Shibuya River Street until March 31st (Sun). The ideas actually adopted will be realized as experimental ideas within the social experiment period.

background

Public spaces, which influence the value of cities, tend to be restricted by administrative prohibitions, and there are issues that citizens are not able to utilize. Future Design Shibuya will start a social experiment along the Shibuya River aiming to build an autonomous mechanism for space management and utilization from the user's perspective. In this social experiment, we will develop ideas on-site in a timely manner in collaboration with various actors, and based on the support of quantitative data, we will explore a mechanism to improve the value of the town and foster a culture.

About Shibuya River

The Shibuya River exists near Shibuya Station as a valuable urban river with a view of the water surface, and its tributary river bone river is said to be the setting for the song "Spring Stream". In 2018, a new waterside space for people, "Shibuya River Street," was born along the Shibuya River through public-private partnership Shibuya redevelopment efforts. In the future, it is expected that local people, workers, learners, and visitors will all form the culture along the Shibuya River.
