・A joint research project with Tokyo Metropolitan University and Tokyo Metropolitan Government to settle urban problems

In the grown-up cities in 21st century, we are facing serious problems for which we have to take immediate measures, for example environmental problems, aging population combined with a diminishing number of children, and aging building stocks. The Leading Project for the Metropolis (L.P. Met) considers these city problems as a high-priority inductive project (leading project). It aims to settle the problems in the field of cities and building stocks in collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan University and Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

・Viewpoint and achievement target of project

The huge amount of old building stocks and city structures pose a serious problem for modern society but are high-grade assets left to us by the technological developments and fortune of our predecessors.
L. P. Met considers active use of these building stocks and city structures as an effective measure to reduce environment load. With further study on the existing building stocks and the city structures, we propose specific and versatile methods by clarifying tasks and problems.
The problems in Tokyo will be faced by cities over the country and the rest of the world. This project's achievements will influence the rest of the country, other cities, and private industry, so we will provide our achievements in real time. We conduct our research projects simultaneously from the following three viewpoints with this overall objective.
