NOMURA Co., Ltd. is conducting a social experiment "Marunouchi Street Park 2023 Summer" (sponsored by Marunouchi I am in charge of the general planning partner and operation of the Street Park 2023 Executive Committee *).

"Marunouchi Street Park" has been held since 2019 as a social experiment to verify the future of Marunouchi Nakadori and how to use it, and this is the eighth time. This year, which is the fifth year, we will continue from 2022 to create a high-quality space that is easy to "stay" and "walk around" for workers and visitors to the area. We create bustle in the area. This year, in particular, we will focus on building a safe security system using security cameras, verifying management methods and installations with an eye to future plazas and park-like spaces, creating venues for street music performances, and improving road spaces through attracting promotions. We will work to secure earnings.

Last year, Marunouchi Street Park introduced artificial turf, and this year, both natural turf (135m2) and artificial turf (315m2) will be installed, and the maintenance and management of the lawn and its impact on the environment will be verified.
Zeon Zoishia is used for the natural turf, and turf for supplementary planting is prepared in the backyard to reduce waste due to withering. Also, in the past, it was moved to the roof of the New Tokyo Building after the exhibition, but this time we plan to reuse it for compost. The artificial turf uses “Spack Turf® TECHNO Heat Reflect®” manufactured by Toray Amtex Co., Ltd. During the exhibition, we plan to collect the artificial turf using a sweeper and measure the amount of turf wear to understand the actual situation regarding the outflow of artificial turf.
