Overview | A new town where nature and bustle blend together under the concept of "the entire town becoming a park," making it a town where everything is like a park. Machida City and TOKYU CORPORATION have worked together to develop a station facility that serves as the town's gateway, a park that will serve as a place of relaxation for local residents, and a commercial facility that will bring excitement to the area. The area is made up of parks, commercial facilities, and a "Park Life Site" that also houses cultural and children's facilities, making it a convenient base for local life and a place that visitors can enjoy. The entire town is being comprehensively reorganized by promoting urban infrastructure such as roads and stormwater reservoirs. |

Issues/Themes | In suburban residential areas facing issues such as aging and population decline, the project aims to revitalize the area and increase the value of the areas along the railway line, properly identify the resources of the town, where a large park and commercial businesses are located side by side, and increase the synergy effects through public-private partnerships. |
Space Solution/Realization | In order to promote the project with different business entities, both public and private, we created a common goal image. While each project has different expertise and business decision-making processes, we contributed to materializing the scheme by utilizing the know-how and knowledge we have accumulated as a business partner to a wide range of clients, from government agencies to private companies, and sometimes even assisting with reviewing existing rules. To make the commercial facility more appealing, we utilized our know-how in creating entertainment spaces and were in charge of the common area environment and three of the six "pavilions" divided by theme. We assisted with the entire process, from planning, Leasing, design, and construction. |
