Mitsui Fudosan Sports Academy for Tokyo 2020 events have been held from Nihonbashi, where Japan’s five major highways all started, to the Tokyo bayside Wangan area, and in elementary and junior high schools and LaLaport facilities in areas where Mitsui Fudosan is engaged in urban development. Looking ahead, the plan is to hold events in places throughout Japan, including retail facilities that Mitsui Fudosan operates such as Tokyo Midtown, LaLaport and MITSUI OUTLET PARK. By enabling direct contact with top-class athletes, the Academy will create connections with many people, starting with the children living in those districts, and will vitalize urban communities, thereby creating a legacy that will continue into the future.
The Philosophy of Mitsui Fudosan’s Urban Development Utilizing the “Power of Sports”
Sports not only improve the mental and physical health of people through actions such as “Doing,” “Watching” and “Supporting,” it also creates new connections and has the power to revitalize communities. For Mitsui Fudosan, whose Group Statement includes an aim for a community that brings affluence and comfort to urban living and targets creation of communities that get better as they age, sees sports as an important element for attractive urban development and promotes utilization of the “Power of Sports” in urban development.
Moreover, as the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 Gold Partner in the category of “Real Estate Development”, Mitsui Fudosan has created the slogan of “BE THE CHANGE” and seeks to change itself under the themes of “Communicating,” “Connecting” and “Accepting,” and to use urban development as a base that will create positive change in the people, communities and society that it aims to transform.
Mitsui Fudosan’s Slogan for 2020
The logo of BE THE CHANGE, which carries the meaning of each person bringing about their own change, has been designed with the motif of a “Wind” changing the world. The symbol painted in the two Mitsui Fudosan corporate colors conveys the image of a “Bird riding the wind and flying through the skies.” The slogan contains the philosophy of “If people change, they can change the world” for 2020 and beyond.
