Shin-Osaka Station South Exit Area Urban Development Council Formulates "Urban Development Vision vol.1"

The Shin-Osaka Station South Exit Area Urban Development Council (hereinafter referred to as "the Council") has recently formulated the "Shin-Osaka Station South Exit Area Urban Development Vision vol.1" (hereinafter referred to as "the Vision") as a guideline indicating the future direction of urban development. The Shin-Osaka Station South Exit Area (hereinafter referred to as "the Area") is adjacent to Shin-Osaka Station, a wide-area transportation hub, and possesses high potential for the concentration of business, tourism, and residential functions. Furthermore, the area around Shin-Osaka Station is expected to develop into a major hub for wide-area transportation with the development of the Chuo Shinkansen, Hokuriku Shinkansen, and Yodogawa Left Bank Line. In formulating this Vision, since the establishment of the Council in March 2024, we have been organizing the future vision of the town based on diverse opinions and data obtained through continuous workshops and exchange meetings with landowners, as well as confirming area characteristics and potential through social experiments. **This Vision is positioned as an "update-type vision" that continuously updates the desired urban form and means of realizing the future vision in stages.** We will continue the Council's activities and update the content of this Vision as needed, taking into account new knowledge and changes in the town. Based on this Vision, the Council will further strengthen cooperation with stakeholders and steadily promote initiatives to realize the future vision. We will continue to work with landowners and local residents to enhance the attractiveness of the Area and create vibrancy, and we ask for your continued cooperation. **▼You can view the full text of this Vision below!** **【Scope of urban development consideration by this Council (within the blue frame: approx. 13ha)】** *The red frame indicates the "Shin-Osaka Station Area Urban Regeneration Emergency Development Area" designated by the Cabinet Office on October 28, 2022.
