The Urban Design Center Kashiwa-no-ha (UDCK), a base for the transmission of future urban development
The Mitsui Fudosan Group is executing its own original role in the Kashiwanoha Campus City Project as a company participating from the private sector. Together with local governments including Chiba Prefecture and Kashiwa-shi, as well as The University of Tokyo and Chiba University, the Mitsui Fudosan Group is taking part in the creation of new value by building a sustainable town based on the concept of “the environment, healthy living, creativity and communication.”
Kashiwanoha Future Village, a place of exchange based on the themes of environment and health.
Our hope is that this town will serve and shine as a futuristic model for addressing various issues that modern society faces 50 years or even 100 years from now — it is a challenge to realize our aim of leaving something that “improves with age” to the future generations to come.
