Post-tsunami Urban Tourism





— Re-introducing Locality and Urban Navigation —

The Opportunity (Connecting Local to Global).

Problem Finding.


            After the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, Japan’s tourism industry faced a difficult period with large impacts on local economy. The events brought about many challenges and one of the main concerns was to re-start tourism and re-introduce connectivity in the locality to foreigners. This project attempts to re-configure the ‘tour guide’ in the 21st century through the eyes, knowledge, and experiences of the locals.
