Expectation to "neo SHIBUYA"
Based on "HELLO neo SHIBUYA" which becomes title, we announce message which person of each going on the platform expects to Shibuya in the future.
"Thoroughly interestingly in town becoming indoor!"
Ota who is building curator expresses what "is gathered to space, shade of gap between place that was street so far and building and building on unprecedented scale in area where it was or place that is interesting in secret though invisible, place to seem to have strange thing, and to be excited at, building of such thing all big one" by redevelopment with "we make indoor". After that, we showed as forward problem saying "we think whether it was our challenge point that you should enjoy now how you made fun for indoor space so as to be opposed to "taste" that there was in conventional street or old neighborhood.".

"Father is wakuwaku, too!"
Tanaka who is Mayor of UR city mechanism East Japan Urban Rejuvenation Headquarters announces that "myself will want you to wait so that wakuwaku really throbs from now on and want to do in such a town". To that end, we said that it was necessary to make "that spiral that it was possible for neighborhood characteristics little by little when person who fixed on place that seemed to be interesting somewhat began anything, and people gathered there more, and to swell that was town".

"Let's do what in basement"
As for Higashiura of Shibuya station square area management representative director, enforcement of administration of turnout facilities such as cafes and this talk event actually revealed process that solved what we realized as a result of discussion and adjustment with various places of the community sector one by one, limit as is often the case with the community space by public and private sectors cooperation in the east exit basement open space. Therefore we feel, "it is various, and Shibuya is concerned and argues about figure to finally want to see, city's way of living, the way of city and shares and can take to such a space in wisdom of all if possible so that it is", and "let's do what in basement" We threw this.

From "subculture to lifestyle"
Uno of commentator, PLANETS chief editor proposes role that Shibuya should carry in future after "let's do that there is in neither daiganyu nor Roppongi, Toranomon" stated, "Shibuya is not young people's town anymore". It was demanded from Shibuya that "slightly than us who were playing Shibuya upper generation made new lifestyle in one's youth not just catching that negatively while the Japanese whole grew old rapidly", and Shibuya who was "node with residential area of the Tokyo west that supported bubble economy from postwar high growth and center of politics, economy of so-called Tokyo of the southern part" said, "it should be in place where we said Shibuya as model town of new work and living approach, or the Shibuya zone could send new lifestyle" to.

With diversity of Shibuya
It pays attention to impression "not to be strange even if we have what" that "we have what in this town, or it is not revealed" that Ota who wrote joint work ** with graduate student of Harvard University under the theme of the town of Shibuya came out in the exchanges with them.
Tanaka analyzes, it "is empty with place to stay that it can just send towards the outside not there being a great variety of boxes" that Shibuya is easy to accept a variety of people.
We touched about diversity of Shibuya who Higashiura stated, not only "we came to wait to just use, but also expressed, or anything oneself was concerned with production, or such a thing becomes one of the relations with town in the future" successively, and was easy to have such innovation and creation.
Uno points out point "that diversity cannot secure adversely when we leave thing which is disorder daringly or mix thing which is disorder in thing originally formal very much or probably do not stand in idea of the principle of such design" "to be connected only to greed recognizing people from beginning" in the present age when the Internet spreads.

"neo SHIBUYA" to make together
It was given as problem while letting old and new Homo sapiens thing things make interaction rather than Shibuya leaving "past Shibuya" carefully to continue being "the situation that all things in nature could be mixed" that was specific one of these towns how all could stretch out interesting state in each.
Higashiura put expectation saying "we want you to concern simply because it was today's Shibuya whom tens of thousands of office workers increased to on scale to wait as well as physical mark".
Uno was meaning to bring about the organic interlocking movement, but spoke opinion when lifestyle that was new as what "really thought about work and living to think about in the Shibuya zone by proximity does not divide ON and OFF" built up "space that could do anything to distance to be able to go in Door to Door in a little less than one hour for 30 minutes in a good way" was brought about.
Finally, Uno suggested the way of future Shibuya saying "we thought that it should be already once in Tokyo that we thought about in line and aspect not point where we tied to again in 2020 in after, and Shibuya thinks some other time when it should be in the starting point", and talk event was finished.
There were many negotiations of person of going on the platform and participant and, at this talk event, was founded by lead of MC Tokuno. The east exit basement open space that brings up this upsurge by public-private cooperation may be also known as symbol of vitality of neo SHIBUYA, and eventually.
