Abstract
This article is the result of our project objective to engage architecture and design students at Daido Institute of Technology in actual city planning problems. With the goal of proposing student generated solutions to the city problem offers, we focused on creating a citizen-based town project that would result in the eventual scenic renewal of an area in the south part of Nagoya where presently exists an incongruent mix of homes and factories. The results of this project suggest the creation of a new, symbiotic relationship between the various competing interests for this urban space.
