Japan is currently facing the problem of a shrinking society characterised by the low birthrate, the ageing, the declining population and the change of household structures. The new challenges arising from the climate change cannot be also overlooked. In this lecture, we will focus on Germany, which faces similar challenges to Japan. In contrast to the UK and France, where there was a concentration of urbanisation in London and Paris, the urbanisation has been progressed in Germany by maintaining a polycentric structure, and the cities are now developing an urban planning programme in collaboration with the federal and state governments in order to ensure the future development potential of the city. The aim of this lecture is to clarify the characteristics of German cities using this programme as a guide, and to gain implications for regional revitalisation in Japan.
It is common to all societies that the family is the basic unit of society, but its form and the role of each member vary greatly according to history and culture. In Japan, the situation surrounding the family is currently undergoing remarkable change and diversification. In this class, we will focus on the family in contemporary Japan to understand the dynamics of society from a variety of angles, including history, law, labour and welfare, and to consider the future of the family.
The class will be basically conducted in a lecture style, but students are also asked to join the group work to analyze the data relating the theme of this class. It is desirable to be active in the class.

This lecture examines risk management as a management decision-making process from the "Shougo-seisaku-gaku". Traditional risk management focused on planning and reducing vulnerabilities. However, in the era of VUCA, is it appropriate to predict, plan, and reduce vulnerabilities? This lecture is to start with this question. Therefore, I will not be lecturing on so-called "how to's" such as how to avoid risks wisely. This lecture is not based on pragmatism in the United States, so please do not misunderstand this point.
