投稿の詳細: 今度の講演は？　A lecture looked for?

市報が配られた。
須坂を活性化するための
シンポジウムが、また今年も
開かれるとのこと。
今年は湯っ蔵んどの新しい
経営者となる方の講演も
同時に行われる。講演会は
楽しみです。

そういえば去年は政策投資
銀行の藻谷さんの街づくりの
話でした。後日,川村さんの
持続可能な都市についての
講演もあったな。

来るシンポジウムでは、
須坂市の人口増対策と持続的発展可能性
を研究した成果が発表されるらしいが、
１にも2にも企業誘致で、
その為の新産業団地の計画
と用地の確保がテーマらしい。また、
第3として観光客誘致の研究成果が発表される
らしい。

去年の講演者達は、
新しい産業団地の開発なんか
おやめなさい（人口減の時代
にあって、その為のインフラのメンテが
将来財政負担になる）
それよりもまず既存の資源を生かした
街づくりでしょ(明確な方向性をもった）、
とはっきり言ってたような記憶がある。
この両者のコントラストが見事で
興味深いものがありました。

さて、今年はいかに。

Monthly distribution of municipal
information for the month of February
was delivered. I found a notice about
a symposium regarding the revitalization
of city of Suzaka. And a lecture is
going to be given by a new head of new
management organization of Yukkuland,
a hot spa established and owned by
the city government. The spa facility
so far cannot run black. I am really
looking for this lecture.

Last year there were very interesting
lecture by Mr. Motani in conjunction
with the same symposium and another one
by Mr. Kawamura about the sustainable
community.

At the coming symposium, study resuluts
by the municipal government regarding
how to increase the population and about
the sustainable development (of what ?)
of the city will be released. According
to the information, the people at the
city government studied mainly about how to
invite corporations to the city, to
the existing and new industrial parks
and the development of such new facilities,
followed by how to induce sightseeners to the
city.

If I was not mistaken, the lecturers
last year recommended not to develop
new industrial park as the maintenace
cost of the infrastructure would be
a big burden to the population declining
local government. They recommended to utilize
existing resources to make the town
a better and more comfortable one with
clear direction and determination.
They saw the trend of
population decline was obvious. So the issue
would not be how to increase the population
but how to establish a sustaible society.
The contrast between what were studied by
the city government and what those lectures
said was so sharp and was really interesting.

So what about this year?
