We are proud to be credited as a collaborator in the book OSAKA – World Expos as Urban Transformative Engine published by the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD). The book compiles the outcomes of a research program on Osaka conducted from 2019 to 2020 by Urban Planning and Design led by Prof. Joan Busquets. In anticipation of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, the book contains information and materials we have provided on the history of expositions in Osaka, urban planning, large-scale development, station redevelopment, as well as student proposals for the reconstruction of stations on the Osaka Metro Chuo Line. Our president, Mr. Sano, also contributed to the article The Transition of Urban Development of Osaka in Accordance with Hosting of Successive World Expositions.
