Gakugei Publishing ／ Ryukoku University Institute for International Social and Cultural Studies Series ／ Co-authored
Drawing on case studies in Japan and abroad, this book examines the benefits and side effects that urban regeneration brings. The evaluation framework we use in our analysis is grounded in this research.
Under a joint research partnership (FY2025) with the Kyushu University Urban Design Laboratory, we apply these research findings to practice.
