NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Co., Ltd. is the overall planning partner and operator of "Marunouchi Street Park 2023 Summer" (organized by the Marunouchi Street Park 2023 Executive Committee *), a social experiment that examines the ideal form of urban plazas and park-like spaces, which has been underway on Marunouchi Nakadori since July 27, 2023 (Thursday).

"Marunouchi Street Park" is a social experiment that has been running since 2019 to examine the future direction and utilization of Marunouchi Nakadori, and this is its eighth iteration. In its fifth year, this year, continuing from 2022, the project aims to create a high-quality space that encourages people to "linger" and "stroll" around, thereby revitalizing the Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho area. In particular, this year we will focus on establishing a secure security system with surveillance cameras, verifying operational methods and installations with a view to future plaza and park-like spaces, creating venues for music performances on the street, and securing revenue from the road space through promotional activities.

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.
