MIT News highlights some of the Initiative’s goals such as the creation of the Memorial Community Center and long-term research. (July 20, 2011)
“In addition to the immediate social need for a memorial community center, our underlying aim is to create a more holistic approach to disaster relief planning and disaster-resilient design that isn’t quite embedded in Japan yet.
