OK, this weekend are the elections, imagine, just imagine Kurokawa becomes the new Tokyo Governor, what would he do (if I were him)?<\/p>\n
1. Bury all the electrical poles, and while doing that fix the Tokyo sewers. A first great step to make Tokyo not to look and smell like shit.<\/p>\n
2. Push for a clear definition of what it means to be an architect here in Japan, push for a separate license for a “structural engineer”. Enough First Class Licensed Architect Aneha-shit!<\/p>\n
3. Introduce some design guidelines for urban planning and architecture that goes beyond shadow zoning. (But make sure that Kurokawa will not be chairing this board)<\/p>\n
4. Make at least 10% of the roads in Tokyo’s centres car-free. All the time! Too bad for those coming from Saitama trying to show off their sporty cars (Boom! Boom! Boom! Sunglasses! Cabriolet! Saitama license plate!) in Shibuya’s shopping streets.<\/p>\n
5. Plant some trees in the city, add more parks. Tokyo has the lowest number of parks\/person among capital cities in the world. But make sure to vary the type of trees! (Note: have a serious discussion with Chiba to reduce the air-born pollen from their trees floating into Tokyo. We don’t want to be number one hay fever capital in the world anymore.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
