Urban Resilience and Climate Adaptation in Japan

Join us for a dynamic discussion on urban resilience and climate adaptation in Japan, featuring two leading experts in the field.

Professor NAGAMI Kozo (Tohoku University), with over 28 years of experience in global disaster risk reduction at JICA, will share insights from his extensive on-the-ground work in developing countries and his ongoing research on methodologies to minimize disaster risks.

Professor Akito Murayama (The University of Tokyo), a prominent authority on land use and district planning, will bring perspectives drawn from his involvement in major urban planning projects – such as Nagoya and Shizuoka City Master Plans – and his numerous co-authored publications on collaborative urban regeneration and sustainable city design.

Together, they will shed light on Japan’s strategies for building resilient cities and the lessons these approaches hold for communities worldwide.
