【要約】
Many protesters are urging the Tokyo government to stop an urban redevelopment plan in Jingu Gaien. Jingu Gaien was built in 1926 with public donations, seen as a people’s park. This is home to a rugby field and a beautiful stadium, where Babe Ruth once played. Its centerpiece is an avenue of Gingko trees. This much-loved Jingu Gaien will be threatened by a new stadium and skyscrapers.
Now, the Tokyo government and a real-estate firm, Mitsui Fudosan, plan to cut down about 3000 trees for redevelopment. They want to build a world-class sports hub like the Tokyo 2020 Olympic stadiums near the park. Mitsui Fudosan promises to preserve the environment and work with arborists to ensure the care of each tree.
However, many campaigners do not trust this promise. 200,000 people have signed a petition, calling for a review of the redevelopment plan. In addition, ICOMOS recently issued a Heritage Alert, warning of “irreversible destruction of cultural heritage.” A famed musician, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who died last spring, wrote a letter to the Tokyo government just before his death, urging people to “keep on thinking, keep on raising a voice.” Responding to the anger, the Tokyo government requested that Mitsui Fudosan submit a concrete redevelopment plan again.
