TOKYO METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY

Our GoalHEADLINE


Our goal of the research is to find the solutions for maintaining the structural safety of a huge number of infrastructures in big cities by intelligent and economical ways and extending the service life. The results of this research make it possible to apply for the efficient infrastructure management in Tokyo, where many infrastructures have been existed already for 30 to 40 years after the construction. Moreover, the maintenance measures which will be carried out in Tokyo in future would be served as the good references to big cities in other Asian countries achieving development as Japan did.
We take it our mission to work on ensuring safety and preventing disasters for the prosperity of the entire Asia by giving instructions with our research achievement.


Contribution to Solutions for Metropolitan Problems and Development in Asia

Asian countries have been developing rapidly. They can adapt the advantages and points to consider in the building and maintaining process of infrastructures shown by the Tokyo’s experiences to constructing ideal metropolises.

Fostering Highly Skilled Human Resources in Asian Countries

For the economic growth and the comfortable living circumstances while keeping the global environment in Asia, we aim at promoting engineers from Asian countries by giving instructions about the methods for ensuring safety of urban infrastructures in Tokyo.

The Advanced Study at the International level

Japan is the country that has the top-class maintenance technology in the world, even compared with the Western countries as well as Asian countries. Our research on the methods for ensuring safety of aging urban infrastructures and achieving the long term durability and sustainability is a pioneering. Therefore that would be the valuable experiences to all Asian countries in the process of the economic growth.
