Seminar on Urban Development Through Stadiums and Sports Complexes

The Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is set to host an insightful seminar titled “Urban Development Centered on Stadiums and Arenas and Latest Examples of Sports Complexes”. This event will take place on November 7, 2025, from 09:30 to 11:30. Renowned associate partner and certified public accountant, Mitsuki Tsuchiya from KPMG Consulting, will deliver a detailed lecture focusing on modern approaches to urban planning and area management, particularly revolving around the development of stadiums and sports complexes.

Seminar Overview

As new stadiums and arenas are being established across Japan, there is an increasing demand for facilities that offer significant economic benefits and social contributions to their surrounding communities. A novel concept gaining traction is the “Sports Complex”, which emphasizes the effective utilization of sports facilities in relation to regional development rather than viewing them as standalone entities.

In this seminar, attendees will explore the pivotal role of stadiums and arenas in city planning and area management. Tsuchiya will share effective strategies for promoting these developments and showcase up-to-date case studies of successful sports complexes.
