1600m Conclusion • Football is such a great global culture based on “Pride of Place” as local identities. • From a view point of urban planning, Japanese football environment is not matured. • From the map data, poor urbanization of the surrounding has been confirmed. • However, large amounts of empty space in the surroundings have possibilities for future development.
Thank you for your attention
