In November 2017, I spoke as an expert at the Reconstruction Agency’s seventh Fw: Tohoku co-creation event in Iwaki. Its theme was “A Regional Information Platform That Creates Livelihoods and Vitality, Considered from Coastal Fukushima.”
In coastal Fukushima, where the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accident created overlapping challenges, the event aimed to discuss and co-create a regional information platform that could provide objective, real-time understanding of current conditions and changes in reconstruction.
Main Contribution
Focusing on digitizing and opening regional information, I provided material for discussion among business owners, government staff, support organizations, residents, and other participants.
The project helped identify concrete ways to confront the urgent task of reconstruction through data, technology, and co-creation.
