3 February 202115:00-18:30 (JST) Zoom Meeting
Recently unplanned development and rapid urban growth is a major issue in a number of countries which has highlighted the need for spatial/territorial planning. The Spatial Planning Platform (SPP) was established by the government of Japan and the UN Habitat in 2018 as a platform, enabling a variety of stakeholders to share experiences and knowledge relating to the formulation and implementation of improved spatial plans. This platform also aims to create a network of stakeholders and to support the formulation and implementation of more effective spatial plans.
Rapid and unplanned urbanization is a issue in a number of countries which has highlighted the increasing need for spatial/territorial planning to achieve more balanced territorial development between different regions and between urban and rural areas as well as to enable sustainable urban development in rapidly growing cities and regions. To meet growing demands and enhance knowledge and experience sharing among countries and cities, the Spatial Planning Platform (SPP) was established jointly by the Government of Japan and UN-Habitat in 2018 to serve as a platform enabling a broad range of governments and stakeholders to share experiences, best practices and knowledge related to the spatial planning and its implementation. The platform also aims to enhance networking of stakeholders and peer to per learning process. Since its inception, the SPP members have met annually, the first in Fukuoka, Japan in July 2018 and Abu Dhabi in UAE in February 2020.
The 3rd SPP meeting will be held on 3 February via Zoom and will address issues related to “Spatial Planning and COVID-19 Crisis”, “The Roles of Spatial Planning in solving current crisis” and “Spatial Planning and Businesses”. It is aimed to enhance sharing of experiences and good practices in dealing with multiple challenges in the aftermath of COVID-19 socio-economic crisis and guiding Build Back Better and Greener through spatial planning tools and interventions at various territorial levels. Participants will have a chance to deep dive in those issues through discussions among countries and cities, UN, World Bank, donor agencies and the private sector.
English/Japanese interpretation will be available on the Zoom platform.
Note: The meeting will be recorded for the Secretariat's purposes only.
COVID-19 and the accompanying health response measures, such as lockdowns and social-distancing have impacted people's mobility, economic development, social services and spatial policies. As the effects of the crisis differ across countries and regions, depending on their key industries, population density and poverty levels, long-term policymaking in response to regional impacts is a prerequisite. This session aims to discuss how spatial and regional policy will change following COVID-19 and to establish the role of spatial plans to ensure that “nobody is left behind” in society and within communities.
Spatial and regional plans are crucial for the use, development and conservation of national land. Across SPP countries, a variety of national and regional plans have been formulated and implemented, depending on their natural and socio-economic conditions. Yet, climate change, rapid population growth, urban concentration and the COVID-19 crisis have dramatically changed the basic conditions required to formulate spatial plans. Therefore, it is important for SPP countries and international organizations to share the progression of spatial plans and the challenges they face.
Based on the discussion in Sessions 1 and 2, presentations and proposals will be made by Japanese infrastructure companies to demonstrate how they can contribute to solving spatial/regional issues with the use of their technologies and financial strategies. Participants will also have the opportunity to join one-to-one business consultations with companies, using Zoom breakout room.

EQ guard
EQguard has a sensor inside. When earthquake occurs,it detects the initial small vibration and issue alarm immediately before big shaking starts. So,people can evacuate sfely. It can be used as a shutdown system at elevators,chamical plants,trains etc.EQgurad can work as a satnd alone and also construct a regional alarm system by making network.

Silent Piler
Piling machine that installs piles without making noise nor vibration by pressing piles with static force. Moreover, the machine runs on installed piles so that temporary platforms are no longer needed. Therefore, space-saving work can be executed and the work can be completed in the shortest possible period of time.

FUMIN coating
The FUMIN coating is a patented technology that forms an even clear film of conductive metal oxide on a glass surface by a spray gun. This film absorbs and shuts off infrared ray and UV ray.
In hot summer, it prevents the room temperature from rising because it absorbs and shuts off infrared ray (solar heat) from outside.
In the case at Japanese national museum, the electricity cost for AC was reduced and it was able to recoup the application cost only in 3 and a half years.
