Norway Seminar: "Challenges Facing the 'Sustainable Society'"
Norway: Challenges Facing 'The Sustainable Society' ( A Search for the Role of National and Local Government in Implementing this Vision
In February 2005, the Kyoto Accord became effective and requires the urgent attention of each agreeing nation. Holding up its vision of 'sustainable development,' Norway introduced the carbon tax in 1991 and other legislation to quick cope with environmental issues at an early stage. Also, because regionalization is advancing, local government was given a central role in the actualization of this vision. Moreover, the capital city of Oslo was awarded the "Sustainable City Award" for its unique ideas toward the encouragement of environmental strategies for regional industries, citizen-based educational activities, environment-friendly town planning. In this seminar, Norway's Minister of Trade and Industry (who served formerly as the Minister of Environment) will discuss his country's national vision and strategy for a sustainable society, and the Environment Coordinator for Oslo city will give a talk about the local government's concrete measures.

  Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo
"Establishment and Maintenance of Public Restrooms in Beijing"
It doesn't matter whether you've been to Beijing or not, many people imagine something about the public restroom when they hear of China. In this presentation, I will discuss the history along with the current use and management of public restrooms in Beijing according to an analysis and examination of data gained from a detail survey of city's lavatories. In particular, I will clarify the effects of increased living space and hygiene management on the public restrooms in dense urban residential spaces.

Presenters: Toru Takahashi, "People's Life on the Water in Tokyo"
  Hosei University (Department of Architecture, Graduate School of Engineering, Hosei
University)
Many people know about the people living on boats along the seashore in Hong Kong or along rivers in Southeast Asia. Although we can no longer see them today, there used to be people living on the water in Edo and later Tokyo. In my discussion, I present a wealth of historical documents and photos that clarify changes in the use of Tokyo's waterside spaces and the urban structure by focusing on the activities of people who lived on the city's waters.

Presenters: Atsushi Kawahara,

"Formation of the Medieval Water City of Bruges (Brugge): In Relation to an Urban Network Theory for the Flanders Region"
 In the history of European city development since the medieval period, the cities of the southern Netherlands (Belgium) are as individualistic as any city found in Italy. In this report, using a in the Urban Network Theory perspective, I will consider the historical development and special characteristics of Brugge (Bruges), its place in the highly urbanized region of Flanders, and the connection between the city's development and its waterways and its port.
Presenters: Shinya Kobayashi,
  Adjunct Lecturer at Kawamuragakuen Woman's University, Tsuru University, and Nihon University
" Edo's 'Hiroba' and the Commoner's World"
 I will discuss small 'hiroba' like the open spaces at the base of bridges which were located throughout Edo. For this presentation, I will focus on the commoner's world and the significance of those open spaces. In addition, by considering these spaces from a number of perspectives, I will discuss how these spaces worked for the city as whole. Finally, I will take up a number of issues related to changes in the 'hiroba' and the users of these spaces as early modern Edo transformed into modern Tokyo.
