Design Management Promotion Seminar: The Otaru We Love, The Otaru We Want to Preserve - Otaru's Past and Future

About this event

This seminar aims to capture the appeal of Otaru from the perspective of design-driven management, deepening understanding of Otaru's unique value through each person involved in the region contemplating "local uniqueness." Drawing inspiration from initiatives in Nagasaki, where growth as a port town and history and daily life themselves have attracted people, participants will reflect on the path Otaru has traveled while considering "a town we want to continue weaving together, and how we want it to be in the future." Topic presentations will delve into "tourism that creates and conveys the quality of living," dialogue with the community to discover what people "love" about the town, and the journey of the town sustained by residents and the community. Furthermore, case studies from Nagasaki and a talk session themed on Otaru's past and future will be held to deepen community understanding and explore future prospects.
