Laboratory Overview	Regional and community design We are conducting research by collaboration with citizens, various experts and students, widely in society not limited to the university.The home laboratory is located at Toyosu Campus, but we also have a “Machinaka Laboratory” as a research base for research activities in Tsukishima Chuo Ward.Not only do we aim to accumulate of research results, but we aim to make sure that research contributes to society reliably and build a network of human resources who practically experienced town planning.
Laboratory Character	Tokyo is called the “capital of water”, and the charm of the waterfront attracts again. Especially Koto Ward has many internal rivers and canals which are interspersed, and Toyosu area is also expected to utilize waterfront. We are working on utilization of waterfront with residents to realize an attractive space by utilizing waterfront. In 2011, we held a ” floating cafe” as a social experiment using the Toyosu Canal Bridge located behind Shibaura Institute of Technology as a social experiment. Also, we support “Toyosu Suisai Festival” held at the same place in the summer.
