[Seminar] Progress and Future Developments of Urban Development around Sapporo Station

<Sapporo Event> JR Hokkaido: Towards the Hokkaido Shinkansen "Shin-Hakodate (tentative name) - Sapporo line"

Our company will hold a seminar titled "Progress and Future Developments of Urban Development around Sapporo Station." The extension of the Hokkaido Shinkansen to Sapporo is scheduled for the end of fiscal year 2030. This extension will significantly shorten travel time between Honshu and Hokkaido, leading to expected economic and social benefits in Hokkaido. In particular, the reduction in travel time to the Kanto and Tohoku regions will be substantial, and additionally, the increase in transportation options will help mitigate the risk of traffic disruptions due to severe winter weather. Furthermore, as the Shinkansen connects cities along a line, it will expand its effects over a wider area. To maximize the benefits of the Sapporo extension, it is important to enhance urban development in the cities along the line and to integrate secondary transportation at Shinkansen stations, including Sapporo Station, to expand the effects from a linear to a broader area. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: June 14 (Friday) 10:00 - 12:00 (Doors open at 9:30) ■ Venue: ACU-A Asty 45 ■ Address: 12F Asty 45, 5-4, Kita 4-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo ■ Speaker: Koji Yamada, Executive Officer, General Planning Division, Hokkaido Railway Company *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
