Japanese Machizukuri and Community Engagement by Shigeru Satoh
Over the past few decades, Japan has faced severe earthquake disasters, an increasing ageing population, declining birth rates and widening social disparities. These issues have served to highlight gaps left by top-down governance approaches and the urgent need to create resilient societies using more traditional models.
Shigeru Satoh is Professor Emeritus of Waseda University, former Director of the Research Institute of Urban and Regional Study and former President of the Architectural Institute of Japan. He has spearheaded the Japanese machizukuri movement (a community-based comprehensive approach to improving built environmental practices) both in theory and actual practice.
