Urban Development Symposium 2025: Making the Value Visible

The Corporation Renovaring, headquartered in Toshima, Tokyo, is set to host the "Renovation Urban Development Symposium 2025" on July 31, 2025. This event aims to explore innovative evaluation metrics and communication techniques for urban development, focusing on the often-overlooked intrinsic values gained through community engagement, relationship building, and economic circulation.

Purpose of the Symposium

While urban development tends to center around tangible outcomes and business creation, Renovaring is challenging this notion by emphasizing qualitative values that are essential yet less visible. The aim is to develop distinct evaluation frameworks that can effectively convey the changes and transformations occurring in the community, fostering local love and participation.

The symposium will feature case studies from advanced cities and encourage discussions with experts to sharpen the methodologies for making the worth of urban development evident. An engaging networking session will follow the symposium, allowing participants to forge contacts and share insights.
