[Workshop] SCRAMBLE STADIUM SHIBUYA 6th Opinion Exchange Meeting-Yoyogi Park and the Future of the Region-

Jungo Kanayama (Shibuya City Tourism Association Representative Director, Future Design Shibuya Project Designer)
Hideki Koizumi (Professor, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Tokyo, Co-creation Town Development, Future Design Shibuya Representative Director)
Create a stadium park with a capacity of 30,000 people in the Yoyogi Park area, which is a sacred place for sports and entertainment and also serves as a disaster prevention base in the event of a disaster. This project has established a place to exchange opinions widely with residents, residents, and park users.
This time, which is the 6th event, visitors were divided into "agreement" and "opposition", and a "workshop" was held to imagine and talk about the pros and cons of stadium construction from each standpoint.
First of all, Kanayama, the designer of the Future Design Shibuya Project, briefly introduces the results of the questionnaires that have been conducted so far regarding the pros and cons of this project.
We have reported that many people have agreed with this project.
But on top of that, we should also pay attention to the dissenting opinions.
Kanayama
"Maybe some of the people who agree with it have anxious voices, and some of those who disagree with it have a concrete opinion," I want you to be careful only here. "
Koizumi, Future Design Shibuya Representative Director, said,
"Uncovering the disadvantages is a very important process in advancing public projects. I want you to think about the disadvantages as much as you can."
Said.
This event is not a crosstalk format that listens to the opinions of the speakers, but a workshop format that encourages visitors to actively participate and speak.
Regardless of the individual opinions that the visitors have in advance, we ask the visitors to be divided into "agreement" and "disagreement" for each seated table, and consider the pros and cons of building a stadium. It was a place to have it.
"Advantages and disadvantages of having a stadium"
"Advantages and disadvantages of not having a stadium"
With this as an issue, I imagined from each standpoint, and rather than "discussion" or "debate", I aimed at a meeting where I would like to list the advantages / disadvantages that can be felt from each standpoint.
It takes 40 minutes to gather opinions at each table.
Beginning with self-introduction, opinions are exchanged at each table.
The table for the pros was smiling, and the table for the opposition was smiling, but sometimes with a bitter expression, I was impressed by the appearance of everyone discussing seriously.
Thinking about the future of the city in which I live and the city I visit may have been exciting and fun, whether I agree or disagree with today's position.
~ 40 minutes later ~
There was a two minute presentation time for each table.
Team ①: Pros
I considered it from the viewpoint that another big disaster will definitely come to Japan.
In the event of a disaster, for example, foreigners visiting the city have nowhere to go. A stadium is necessary if it can be used as a place where such visitors can spend time.
Also, since there are many signage in Shibuya, it would be nice to be able to create a mechanism that can guide people to the stadium by linking them in the event of a disaster.
Kanayama: The stadium will function as a disaster prevention base, including a system that can be organized so that signage in the city can be forcibly used to guide disaster victims in the event of a disaster. "
Team ②: Pros
We talked about it because we wanted to give a positive opinion, but it was quite difficult to think seriously again.
Under such circumstances, I thought that it was the disaster prevention aspect that was easy to agree with.
In addition, there are economic merits, and I think we can realize a size that is difficult to achieve in terms of sports promotion, so I think the stadium can play a good role in creating and disseminating Shibuya's culture.
The disadvantage is the issue of security. Originally, it is a relatively safe area, but if more people gather there, I think there will be concerns about security issues.
Kanayama: Currently, 220,000 people live in Shibuya Ward, but about 10 times as many people visit the city.
Actually, disaster prevention bases are different for residents and visitors. Those who do not have a resident card must evacuate to a wide area evacuation center. However, the current situation is that it is difficult to understand. I think it is necessary to evacuate to an easy-to-understand place that will become a symbol of the city. "
Team ③: Opponents
The first disadvantage is the disadvantage of gathering people.
The city may be more crowded than ever and it may be a nuisance to the people living in the area.
Also, by creating an entertainment base, people with specific fans and cultures will gather at once. Then, a situation arises in which it is difficult for other people to enter.
It also includes the problem of dust and noise.
The second is operational anxiety. Can it be maintained in a financial sense? Isn't it an issue whether it can be operated without burdening the citizens?
Also, isn't it a situation where it doesn't work as expected even though it was made with great effort? Weekends are good, but there are concerns about whether it can operate properly as a "cultural facility" on weekdays.
There are also concerns about whether the scale of the stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people, is appropriate.
The third is the environmental problem in the neighborhood.
I'm worried that the environmental characteristics of water, which tends to accumulate when it rains, will be worse than it is now.
Fourth, I'm worried that what I have now will be gone.
People who are using Yoyogi Park now have great concerns, such as sports such as futsal, basketball, and running, and customers who are looking forward to events such as "Thai Festival" and "Hokkaido Fair" every year.
In addition, there are concerns that people who use Yoyogi Park for walks every day can use it comfortably as before, which is rooted in local life.
Koizumi "What I found interesting was the perspective of" excluding other people when it comes to a specific person's place "when it becomes a base for entertainment. I thought it was very important."
Team ④: Opponents
I thought about it from the perspective of a person working in Shibuya.
One is the concern that the number of people will increase.
There are disadvantages that the city of Shibuya will be more crowded, garbage will increase, light and sound will increase, and it may be a nuisance to local residents.
The other is concern about maintenance.
It may be difficult to see in advance how long the stadium will operate after it is actually built.
In addition, it is necessary to reconsider the original idea and philosophy of this project. In the first place, we should think more about who this stadium is for.
Is the entertainment and sports base the most necessary for the inhabitants of the ward? Perhaps we should focus on other things that need to be resolved, such as waiting-list child issues and welfare issues.
Koizumi: I need to go back to the starting point of the project and explain more about why the stadium concept is being promoted in the first place. It is a big issue that the project tends to be closed. thought"
Kanayama: “Open“ open innovation ”. It's easy to put it up in words, but it's easy to lose track of what the actual actions and outputs are when proceeding with a project. I thought that I should re-question and re-think what I said.
Team ⑤: Pros
How to make the stadium a new legacy of the Reiwa era ...
The Yoyogi National Stadium, designed by Kenzo Tange in the 1960s, has a fascinating appeal for the next 50 years. I want the new stadium to be the same.
Also, I want it to become the pinnacle of a music artist's career, like the current Nippon Budokan.
Also, I want the stadium to take on the function of a "hub." A hub that connects generations, Shibuya and rural areas, or diverse people.
And I think it would be nice to have an aspect as an educational facility that the inhabitants of the ward can use with priority, such as a joint athletic meet of all elementary schools in the area.
Koizumi "The" ward inhabitant's perspective "is very important. In order for the inhabitants of the ward to enjoy themselves, it may be such a" multiplication of sports and learning ", and I would like to continue thinking in that direction as well."
Team ⑥: Opponents
What happens to people who have used the park so far? What are the current feelings of people living in the area? I thought. I think it is necessary to listen to the opinions of the local people.
Also, is security okay? I need more explanation to the area.
As much as possible, I want you to be accountable to the people who are using the park now.
I thought about it, but it was difficult because everyone was in favor of it (laughs).
Koizumi: There are various merits of being able to create new things, but it is necessary to identify the impact on the people who are using the park and the natural environment one by one and think about it one by one. I think it was an opinion.
Finally, a brief talk session by Kanayama and Koizumi.
Kanayama: "Today, the point that regained my mind is the" philosophy. "
Shibuya is a culturally rich city. Isn't it difficult to do so in the future with existing assets alone? Is it really possible to enhance cultural facilities just by redeveloping existing facilities? From such a question, I thought, "But Yoyogi Park could solve it," and launched this project.
"Civic Pride" was the basis of the first idea. I remembered it again.
I want to cherish only the core of the philosophy, but today I felt that I had to update the philosophy itself while incorporating your opinions. "
Koizumi: I heard a lot of opinions that wouldn't come out without asking various people, and the points to be confirmed became clear.
By repeating this kind of thing with people in other positions, we can see more things to do. It was a very meaningful place as the first step. "
Kanayama: In order for the city to evolve and become culturally mature, it is important not only to solve the problems in front of us, but also to imagine the growth margins and possibilities in 10, 50, and 100 years. I think whether or not we can make things while doing so.
For example, Meiji Jingu was designed with the goal of creating a natural forest 100 years later, and it was realized in 80 years. I think Shibuya is a city that has challenged the possibilities of "the future 100 years from now."
Koizumi "Yoyogi Park is basically a quiet place, although it can be lively. I think it is this stadium concept to put the context of" movement "into such a" quiet "place.
I think that such "quietness" and "movement" are required to have a consistent stadium, so while valuing the location of Yoyogi Park, a new place that will be connected to the next generation. I want to be aware that culture will be realized from this stadium. I want to make it something that can be said to have left something like this in the future 100 years from now. "
Finally, from Kanayama,
"I would like to continue to have the opportunity to hear valuable opinions from everyone, so I would be grateful if you could continue to give us your opinions and encouragement," he concluded.
We will continue to hold regular events in order to update the concept while incorporating many opinions.
We are looking for more opinions and comments on the official website.
If you agree with this idea, please give us your support and vote!
