Building the future for regional areas with cultural policy

What significance does cultural policy have in terms of considering the future of regional areas? What kind of initiatives are needed for earthquake disaster recovery and urban development, and what sort of role should be played by those in charge, the administration and citizens? We will look these issues from the perspective of both the philosophy behind cultural policy, and from pioneering practical examples from around the country.

We look forward to your participation in this event.
