About two years ago, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun sounded the alarm about the heat island phenomenon.

From this article, it can be said that one of the major factors of heatstroke is “man-made disaster.“
“Concentration in Tokyo“, “Rapidly increasing office buildings” and “High-rise condominiums“, and “Continuously paved streets“.

The city of Edo, once filled with water and greenery, has disappeared.
And aren’t we continuing to leave a “negative legacy” for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren?
Economic growth is important. However, a city is a place where people live healthily.
It is easy to imagine that if things continue like this, unnecessary medical treatments will only increase.
Today, while considering this, I would like you to think about how we should live.
How can we urgently implement urban development to reclaim ample greenery and nature, and become a major city that regains health?
From any perspective, it goes without saying that health is more important than wealth.
Now, let’s talk about the health damage caused by “man-made disasters” that our medical team discusses daily.
Please bear with me for a moment.
