▼Lecture summary
Superb urban development in rural areas – Rural innovation in the Jomon style – Rural innovation involves not only the “problem-solving type,” which identifies local social issues and logically derives solutions, but also the “value-creating type,” which starts from a breakthrough idea and connects it with rural social issues. It is important to combine approaches.
