I visited the site after listening to the man who led the redevelopment. He is an incredible man. It feels like a different era from the Takamatsu of old. Okayama, across the river, is noticeably behind schedule, including its airport strategy.
He provided over 30 hints for revitalizing other shopping districts.
He said, "I focus on learning from failures, not successes," but anyone working on revitalizing shopping districts should definitely visit.
1. Landowners don't get along with each other very well.
2. The shopping district promotion association and the neighborhood association (where residents live) don't get along.
3. However, in Marugamemachi, the chairman of both the shopping district promotion association and the neighborhood association president are the same person.
4. Shopping district owners suffered devastating damage during the bubble = over 100 million yen in debt.
5. The goal is to shrink an expanded city.
6. We will not and cannot rebuild through business - the basic principle of urban development is social business...so we don't pay dividends to shareholders, we invest in the city.
7. The Ministry of Finance has been monitoring land prices.
8. The core of the solution is resolving the land issue by separating ownership and usage rights. This would allow individuals who have borrowed 100 million yen to have their debts forgiven.
9. Land issues are a matter of personal freedom.
10. Area management utilizing fixed-term leasehold rights would allow dilapidated buildings to be demolished and usage rights to be relinquished for 60 years. Urban development companies would then lease the land.
再開発を導いた方のお話しをお伺いし現地を訪れてみた。凄いヒトです。昔の高松とは隔世の感があります。空港の戦略を含めて、対岸の岡山の遅れが際立ちます。
他の商店街再生のヒントが30以上もありました。
この方は、「失敗例から学ぶことを主眼にする 成功例を見ない」と言われましたが、それでも商店街再生に従事する方は、必ず訪れるべきでしょう。
１．地権者同士は死ぬほど仲が悪い
２．商店街振興組合と（そこに住む）自治会は仲が悪い
３．ただ丸亀町は商店街振興組合長と自治会長が同じ人物である４．商店街オーナーはバブルで壊滅的被害を被る＝1億円以上の負債も
５．目的はー拡大した都市をシュリンクするー
６．ビジネスで再建はしない・できないー街つくりの基本方針はソーシャルビジネスー・・・だから株主配当をしない、街に投資する
７．財務省が定点観測してきたのは地価
８．課題解決の核心は【土地問題の解決】であり、所有権と利用権の分離を行うことそうすれば、個人で１億円の借り入れをしていた者も借金が帳消しにできる
９．土地問題は個人の自由問題
１０．定期借地権を活用したエリアマネジメントで老朽化した建物などを廃棄し、60年間利用権を放棄するそして街つくり会社が借り上げる
