The Motomachi district, located in the center of Hiroshima City, is an area that was once devastated by the atomic bombing. It was later transformed to accommodate emergency housing, and in the 1970s, it the city made it into a municipal housing complex with high-rise apartments that was unparalleled in Japan at the time, and which still remains today. In 2020, “The Motomachi Reference Office” was permanently established to provide information on the changes the Motomachi district has undergone. The Motomachi Reference Office is operated by the “Motomachi Project,” a collaborative project between Naka Ward and Hiroshima City University to revitalize the area. We spoke with Katashima Ran, a staff member involved in its operation.
