Our city needs a healthy heart. An oasis in the center.

Stops graffiti, nice atmosphere, cool shadow

Creates places for people to relax, hides places you don't want to see

No community feeling / communication between residents and shop owners, except for Konyyamachi shotengai there is no shop owners organization in Daimyo therefore it will be hard to reach everyone.

Responsivility, who is going to take care of the plants. Plants need a lot of attention and care.

Cost, who is going to pay for it ? Initial investment and maintenance cost.

Mobilize people / activate people to come together and work on a common goal

Get residents, shop owners and children involved by setting up a competitions

Try to motivate this way to get enthusiastic about 'green' ! Examples of competitions could be;

Tallest Sunflower, Best planter (Shoppers choose winner)
Winner can get media attention!

An event original / creative / relaxing / informative and fun, focused on healthy life and improving the area by placing more green.

At the event people could get professional green advise (which plants need a lot of care, which don't, which can grow in the shade, which in the sun etc) People can see examples of how to use green. Planters designed by professionals.
