[Coldrsx]

when did osaka become dull

[spyguy]

One question, normally where are the parking for inhabitants???

No need for parking? It's refreshing to see buildings without parking blobs for a base and it says a lot about the city and its residents.

[Grumpy]

Thanks for the renderings.
What is the story on the developpment near Umeda station ??

[LeeWilson]

I'm not sure which development you mean specifically. These are some proposals for the area around Osaka and Umeda stations.

Shin-Umeda Hankyu Office Building: As far as I can tell, the construction on this site has already started, but not on the building itself.
http://vgfun.voidaudio.net/lee/misc_images/osaka/shinumedahankyu.jpg

[LeeWilson]

Viequ Tower Osaka, Apple Tower Osaka Tanimachi, and Sanctus Tower Shinsaibashi Milano Grande appear to have been completed.

I have updated the list with a couple new buildings, as well as added all images I could find for proposed buildings. I am interested in the Knowledge Capital Building, I like the design.

[Grumpy]

thanks for the update , I appreciate it alot

[LeeWilson]

Since I am in Tokyo I can't check up on the progress of the buildings in person, so I am generally relying on the internet for my information. Because of this, it's not always the most up-to-date information, but I try. Thanks for your interest in the thread! Can I ask why you're interested in Osaka?

Because of this, it's not always the most up-to-date information, but I try. Thanks for your interest in the thread! Can I ask why you're interested in Osaka?

A few years ago I got the Millenium book of Osaka where numerous projects were announced and several finished projects were published.
I believe its one of the selden books that is printed of this city which does have more dan 10.000.000 people in its surroundings and nearly no one is giving it any attention.

I know Tokyo is the biggest in Japan but Osaka is nearly totally neglected.
The city spreaded along the changed riverbanks and many developments were built in the bay long before the Kansai airport was even built and those other many interesting things that were built.

The big problem is to contact local administrations, I've written dozen of e-mails to official organisations but until today I have to recieve my first answer.

The only answer I got was from the 2008 Olympic bid , they provided me with a wealth of information.
A true shame that the Olympics are held in Peking...

Osaka is by far the most under-rated megacity in the world !

To end with a question: are there any plans for line extensions in the local subway system? Several lines towards the new islands in the bay are run by trains or trams.To find info aboyt this...as usual :(

Does this project consist of one or two towers ?

This is too much look like Yokohama Landmark Tower. Maybe too much.

[LeeWilson]

I never really noticed that but I guess you're right.

[Grumpy]

Some construction pictures would be great to look at ;)

Doesn't the city of Osaka have a service who occupies with new developments ?

[LeeWilson]

I'm not sure where to find construction pictures unfortunately, and since I don't live near Osaka I can't take any of my own. I'll see what I can do to find some.

[Grumpy]

thank you

[LeeWilson]

I'm sorry. I updated the information in late February, but I've been a bit busy at work, and since I don't live in Osaka it is a little more difficult for me to collect information. I'll update it again when I have some time.

Could someone make a kind of map where the projects are built?
It would be a lot easier to locate them in the city.

[citylife777]

These projects are Nakanoshima districts.

Nakanoshima ia a strip of land sandwiched between the Dojimagawa and Tosaborigawa rivers.
Situated close to Osaka`s goverment and business districts and dotted
with museums and conference halls, the area is the hub of Osaka`s economy and culture.

It seems Japan has the most conservative looking towers in Asia. When you look around other Asian skylines you see some downright outrageous designs. Except here. They look like they will blend right in here in Houston...

I love this thread! Although Tokyo is my favorite city in the world, I think the Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe area represents the best possible combination of working/living in Japan. You have the big city life of Osaka, the hundreds of sights of Kyoto and the relaxed, almost resort-like atmosphere of Kobe! :tup:

Thank you for intersting commnet.
There are many differences between Tokyo and Osaka, but i like
both cities.
They are the two biggest cities in Japan.

The Kanasai region (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara) is the cultural and
historical heart of Japan.
Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe is a metropolitan area that is centered on the cities
of Osaka in the Osaka prefecture.
Osaka-kyoto-kobe metoropolitan area population is 17,220,000.
