Marunouchi Street Park 2023 Summer

"Marunouchi Street Park" has been running in Tokyo's Marunouchi Nakadori since 2019 as a demonstration experiment of future area management that transforms "road space" into a comfortable "urban park space." Based on the concept of "Popping Summer Street - Marunouchi Nakadori where visitors can feel the summer and get excited," verification items included collaboration with initiatives that are in line with the times and trends, such as rugby and SDGs, setting up tables equipped with wind and solar power generation capabilities, and creating a venue for musical performances that involves local workers and visitors.

We undertook new collaboration and technological projects, such as installing swings adorned with the uniform concept design of the Japanese national rugby team players, setting up outdoor power supply spots (wireless charging) equipped with solar and wind power generation, and selecting official musicians to perform around the street piano through a public application process.
As a consideration for the global environment, we conducted activities during the event to collect artificial turf using sweepers and measure the amount of turf wear, in order to understand the actual situation regarding plastic leakage from artificial turf.
To ensure safe operation as the facility becomes permanent, we actively considered staffing arrangements and the use of security cameras, and worked to verify how to manage safety in light of its future use as an urban park space.
