In collaboration with Kyoto City, the Foundation will widely disseminate examples of collaboration between universities and students and local communities in the city, and will hold the “University and Regional Cooperation Summit” as an opportunity for universities, students, and local organizations involved in regional collaboration activities to interact.

Event Report
On Sunday, December 2, 2018, the 2018 “University and Regional Collaboration Summit” was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto. In the first part, Mr. Mitsuhiro Yamazaki, former International Business Development Officer of the City of Portland Development Bureau, was invited to give a lecture on the theme of “Community Design and Livable Urban Spaces ~ From the Case of Portland.”
In the 1950s-70s, Portland had the most polluted rivers and air in the United States due to industrial pollution and car-centric road design, and many residents moved to the suburbs, turning the city center into an empty ghost town. From such a state of abyss, the first goal was to preserve the natural environment, and the government and industry worked together to rebuild the city, and it was able to transform into a city that is now said to be the most desirable city to live in in the United States. He told the story that the secret to his success was to raise the slogan “Cherish nature” that anyone from any position can achieve.
Part 1: Keynote speech by Mitsuhiro Yamazaki
This was followed by a discussion between Mr. Yamazaki, Mr. Masamine Fukao (General Manager, Research and Public Relations Division, University Consortium Kyoto) and Mr. Kazuhiro Shionoya (Director, University Policy Department, Policy Office, Planning Bureau, Kyoto City), and the message was that it is important to take on challenges without fear of failure from the perspective of students and universities, under the theme of “The Role of Universities in the Community and Prospects for Regional Cooperation.”
Part 1: Discussion
After that, the faculty and staff of the six universities (Otani University, Kyoto University of Education, Kyoto Women’s University, Kyoto Tachibana University, Doshisha Women’s University, and Ryukoku University) that have been selected for the “Academic City Collaborative University” Promotion Project gave presentations on their regional collaboration activities.
Part 1: Case study presentations by universities selected for the “Academic City Collaborative University” Promotion Project
In the second part, a poster session was held by 21 exhibiting organizations, including the Gakumachi Collaboration Project, the Ward Community Development Support Project, the Ward Office and the University Collaboration Project, and the six universities selected by the Gakumachi Collaborative University, and there was a lively exchange of opinions and exchanges between visitors and exhibitors.
*For posters of each exhibition, please see the list of poster session exhibitors below.
Part 2: Poster Session
After the end of the second part, a social gathering was held for poster session presenters. With Mr. Shinichi Asakura, Kyoto City Urban Development Advisor, as a facilitator, based on the overall theme of the 2018 Summit, “The Future of Creative and Sustainable ‘Towns’,” we randomly combined keywords of our own interest and came up with ideas that could be used for urban development. In a friendly atmosphere, it was a good opportunity for the students to learn the importance of creating new things with free ideas and the importance of having a creative mind.
Part 2: Poster Session: Networking event by presenters
