Create a stadium park with a capacity of 30,000 people in the Yoyogi Park area, which will be a sacred place for sports and entertainment and a disaster prevention base in the event of a disaster. ..
For the next year, we have been soliciting opinions and discussing widely, such as open discussions, workshops, and web questionnaires, which are open to residents and visitors to Shibuya. You can see reports of discussions / workshops and opinions received on the official website.
Such a project. In the first half of the talk session, "SESSION 1", which also serves as an interim report at the turning point of the first year after the announcement of the concept, talks focusing on economic and cultural aspects will be developed.
Mayor Hasebe Shibuya first said, "We would like to promote the construction of the stadium as the axis of creative and innovative town development, as stated in the promise at the time of the mayor's election. Compared to cities in the world, especially in Asia, Tokyo in terms of economy and finance. Is starting to be late, and I want to expand my entertainment so that Tokyo can survive with all my heart. I think that the existence like Motoyama is this stadium. "
Sasaki of the social economic media "NewsPicks" said, "The need for content is high worldwide. The golden age of content is coming." To do.
Mr. Natsuno points out that the new national stadium is taken as an example when referring to the use of the stadium for entertainment other than sports.
"I think the facility has become unprofitable in the future because we didn't have a roof to keep construction costs down. We can't hold concerts because of noise. The stadium should be roofed not just because of the weather. I want this stadium concept to be 100% privately-led (so that we can make decisions that include such profitability). "
Nature in the middle of the large commercial area of Shibuya-Shinjuku --- Although such a cultural base is rare, the large-scale maintenance of the park space is still being carried out in 1965. This is the current state of Yoyogi Park.
Hasebe "The beginning of this project is from the discussion about the utilization of Yoyogi Park in consideration of sports promotion. I also want to aim for sports to be lively throughout the city centered on Yoyogi Park.
For example, if there is a safe field where women can run alone even at midnight, the surrounding public baths may function as a running station, or cold-pressed juice may be available at any time. I wonder if we can manage the surrounding economy well like that. "
Mr. Mano said, "A" roof "is necessary even in the sense of a disaster prevention base. It is rational to use a plan to create many VIP rooms as a special evacuation space in the event of a disaster. For example, for families with babies. There are some tough points in corrugated cardboard partitions, "he said, and eventually shifted to the agenda for" civic pride, "while touching on from the perspective of disaster prevention.
"It is important to know symbolically that" in case of emergency, it is an important place for people in Shibuya to escape. In the event of a disaster, "it's okay to go there".
Of course, it is also important that there are sports here that everyone can support in order to create a sense of unity in the community even in normal times. "
Hasebe: For example, I think street culture and street sports are the engines of this city. However, doing it on the road requires consideration for local residents. However, it would be nice if there is a place in this stadium park where you can devote yourself to street sports. is not it"
Natsuno "To make Tokyo healthy is to make Japan healthy. What is lacking is a large sports facility, and its location in the city center will surely be a weapon for the next generation. There is still room for the Japanese economy. We should build a stadium like this while we are there. "
Kanayama finally summarizes as follows.
"I want to think about the future of Tokyo through the future of Yoyogi Park. Even if the discussion on this stadium concept matures and construction is not realized, it would be good if the discussion could be taken over and become a good Tokyo. I think"
Mr. Hasebe said, "The important thing is from now on. If the population decreases, investment may not be gathered. Fortunately, Shibuya Ward is estimated to increase the population for the next 5 years. However, I would like to deliver it specifically to the Tokyo metropolitan area under my jurisdiction. I would like everyone to push their backs. "
