The future of Tokyo moving into the 21st Century will be different from its past. Whereas demographic growth and urbanization used to be the precondition of Japan’s capital, projections indicate that by the year 2020 Tokyo’s population begin to shrink; urbanization will be both influenced by and asked to negotiate the legacy of the previous period of economic growth. The population of Tokyo will experience new conditions, with work styles changing; notions of common spaces and shared economies spreading; mobility impacting action; and information technology shifting communications and lifestyles. The central question of this conversation is, thus: how can urbanism and architecture contribute to the paradigm shift Tokyo has begun to undergo? Harvard GSD’s “Tokyo: Future Cities, Future Citizens” will bring to stage roadmaps for Tokyo proposed by architects and urban planners, and will ask them to interact with issues and expectations on the frontlines of mobility and information technology. This unique event will bring three Harvard GSD leaders into conversation with some of the most influential scholars and practitioners in Japan, all focused on the future of Tokyo as an international subject. * * * Host: Harvard University Graduate School of Design Date: Monday, April 24, 2017 Time: Registration 1:30 PM; Conference 2:00-6:30 PM, followed by Reception Venue: Waterras Common, Hall on level 3 (2-101, Kanda Awajicho, Chiyoda-ku) Capacity: 180 Language: Simultaneously translated (English and Japanese) Registration: Registration has closed since application reached the capacity.
