University Cities Osaka Project: Summary of the 3rd Working Meeting
This time, the discussion primarily focused on the Osaka Castle East District, which serves as a hub in the central Osaka area along the Kansai Innovation Axis, particularly from an urban planning perspective. The notion of integrating the Osaka Castle East District with Osaka Castle itself was presented, and the discussion revolved around urban revitalization, including the expansion of the Osaka Castle area to encompass its surroundings. It was emphasized that the future of universities should be viewed not only as academic institutions but also as places for the creation and exchange of knowledge.
