The program supports the holding of seminars and other events to learn about the advance reconstruction of cities!
(Call for applications is now open.)

As part of the “TOKYO Resilience Project,” the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake, has established a program to support seminars and workshops for the dissemination and education of advance urban recovery, etc. to be held by private organizations in Tokyo, so that reconstruction and urban planning after a large-scale disaster (earthquake, flood, etc.) can be carried out quickly and smoothly, The support system will include “a portion of the operating expenses” and “a portion of the expenses for the event”. There are two ways to support such events: “subsidizing part of the operating costs” and “approving the use of the common logo/tagline of the “Great Kanto Earthquake 100th Anniversary” and the name of the sponsor in the name of the Bureau of Urban Development.
