From the plaza

In Japan, there are very few cities with a central plaza where people can gather, like in Europe. In Sapporo in recent years, various spaces have appeared with “interaction” as the keyword. Spaces where people can gather, meet, and where new cultures and urban development are created; such spaces are emerging on land formed symbolically from Hokkaido’s history.
