At the opening ceremony held to commemorate the provisional opening of the town, we celebrated the birth of a new town in grand style together with local residents and visitors, accompanied by a performance by a brass band. Furthermore, the opening events scheduled from today, the 6th (Friday) to the 8th (Sunday), will feature a special live event and various street events at the large-roofed event space “Rothart Square Umekita,” which will become a symbol of Umekita Park, adding vibrancy to the provisional town opening.
“Grand Green Osaka” is a complex facility that includes offices, hotels, core functional facilities, commercial facilities, urban parks, and residential areas. The planning concept is anchored in the creation of “Osaka MIDORI LIFE” – a fusion of “green” and “innovation” – and aims to promote urban development where encounters in the town create various values and continuously improve the community and society as a whole.
Starting today, the 6th (Friday), the “General Incorporated Association Umekita MMO,” formed by a joint venture of operators, will begin park management and area management as the designated administrator of Umekita Park for the next 50 years. Through a variety of participatory programs and seasonal events that offer extraordinary experiences, we plan to develop initiatives that allow visitors to feel a sense of attachment and pride for their park. Additionally, the core functional facility “JAM BASE” also opened today. By bringing together diverse players such as companies, universities and research institutions, startups, and venture capital, we will support the transformation of new ideas into reality and the challenges of social implementation and commercialization.
Even after the town opening, we will continue to co-create new values towards the realization of “Osaka MIDORI LIFE” aimed at improving the QOL of people, creating opportunities for self-realization, and promoting new sustainable initiatives and innovations by companies.
