18th DDPI Seminar ‘Pathways to multicultural conviviality in Japan, which is becoming an immigration powerhouse: city planning for diversity inclusion and empowerment’.
The DDPI project will intermittently organise a seminar series, focusing on policy solutions to disparities and inequalities and the potential of digital technologies for this purpose (digital democracy).
The 18th seminar, entitled ‘Pathways to multicultural conviviality in Japan, which is becoming an immigration powerhouse: urban development that embraces and empowers diversity’, will be given by Dr Sayaka Fujii, Associate Professor of Systems Information Systems at the University of Tsukuba. Professor Fujii’s research focuses on architectural and urban planning, from both hard and soft aspects, such as spatial development, livelihood support and community building. In this interview, she talks about eliminating disparities and inequalities from the perspective of multiculturalism and diversity in town planning.
