IRITANI Takuya

  • Manager, Roadway Space Reorganization Section, Planning Division, Planning Department

He has held his current position since April 2023. He is responsible for roadway space reorganization projects on Midosuji, Namba, and Nakanoshima, and is advancing initiatives related to the Expo, including this project and the World Street Conference.

We expect that during the EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, not only local citizens but many visitors from Japan and abroad will come to the Midosuji area, the city’s core. We plan to make integrated use of the spaces created through past roadway reorganization projects and host events that encourage people to stroll the city, encounter Osaka’s scenery, people, and culture, and enjoy the area’s energy and excitement. We also intend to treat these Expo‑period initiatives as social experiments in roadway‑space utilization, letting citizens and visitors experience new ways of using the streets and applying the results to future efforts.
