KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 (Bernama) -- Japanese urban landscape developer, Mori Building Co Ltd, has commenced a massive urban regeneration project to revitalise a large area of central Tokyo.
The ‘Toranomon-Azabudai District Category 1 Urban Redevelopment Project’ is set to be completed by March-end 2023.
The project is designed to provide a safe city that will allow people to carry on living and working, even during a major disaster on the scale of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
With ‘Modern Urban Village’ core concept, it is a unique neighbourhood that will combine the sophistication of a megalopolis with the intimacy of a small village in the heart of Tokyo.
It will cover an area of approximately 8.1 hectares, similar to that of New York’s Rockefeller Center, and feature extensive greenery measuring 24,000 sq metres, which includes a 6,000 sq metre central square.
Total floor area will be 860,400 sq metres, including 213,900 sq metres of office space and about 1,400 residential units.
About 20,000 office workers and 3,500 residents will work and live there, with 25 to 30 million people expected to visit this totally new city-within-a-city annually.
The electricity supplied will be from renewable sources, which will meet the targets stipulated in the RE100 international environmental initiative, led by the United Kingdom’s Climate Group.
