MIYASHITA PARK

MIYASHITA PARK is a complex facility developed through a PPP (Public Private Partnership) as a reconstruction of Shibuya Ward Miyashita Park (opened in 1964), which comprised a park on top of a public parking lot alongside a busy rail line. Prior to reconstruction, the park had become earthquake prone due to aging of the artificial ground and general deterioration over time, and suffered from insufficient barrier-free access. There was also a need to improve the amenities of the renowned commercial areas of Shibuya and Harajuku, and to prepare for disasters, which have become a major urban issue of Tokyo in recent years. In addition to the accessible redevelopment of the park and public parking, 4 floors of retail and an 18-storied hotel were incorporated into the same site, realising significant urban improvement and enhancing public land utilisation in the center of Tokyo.
