Purpose
Hiroshima 2045: City of
Peace and Creativity initiated in 1995 on the 50th anniversary of
the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, is an initiative to create social
infrastructures with superior design characteristics as Hiroshima
moves through the next fifty years to 2045.
The initiative
recognizes that building projects in Hiroshima are one of the most
important aspects in forming a cityscape, and involves the selection
and appointment of designers highly skilled in all fields of urban
design, such as architecture, civil engineering and landscaping,
from the planning stages. By doing so, we will promote the creation
of a distinctive and attractive urban landscape. |
