Proceedings:
Our first meeting will be held on December 12, 2011 in Tokyo University. We anticipate people concerned on the built environment from various organisations and regions to participate. Our intention is to focus on the core problems and the way that we all together see them evolving. Through our meetings we aim to provide some conclusions on specific matters and then try to apply it by bringing these ideas down to the communities. Since our main focus are the communities in the Tohoku region, we would like to take the advantage of remote and video conferencing technologies to be closely connected to the participants in disaster-affected areas. In a later stage we would welcome any ideas to establish a permanent venue for holding our meetings and discussions; to disseminate the outcomes of our meetings to media and web sources, and to find any feasible way to physically visit the regions that we will focus on.
