"Trees in the Tokyo's leafy Jingu Gaien area may begin to be cut down by the end of the month [Oct 2024], [Mitsui Fudosan Co., the] company behind the controversial redevelopment project said Monday, after the metropolitan government accepted a revised plan"

🔸Over a year since #ICOMOS Heritage Alert. Developer & Tokyo govt probably thought gnat-like attention of public & media would be elsewhere🤔

  "Mitsui Fudosan Co. will delay the controversial felling of trees in its redevelopment project in the capital's Meiji Jingu Gaien area until January 2024..." "The redevelopment project began in March with the demolition of Jingu Secondary Stadium, but a number of civic groups and celebrities have voiced opposition..." https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230930/p2a/00m/0na/014000c 🔸Can almost hear the developer thinking "If a week is a long time in politics will attention spans last 3 months?"🤔#Japan #Jingu #ICOMOS

  "#ICOMOS, together with its Japanese National Committee, is issuing a Heritage Alert to stop the destruction of approximately 3,000 trees and loss of open park space in Jingu Gaien, Tokyo..." https://www.icomos.org/en/get-involved/inform-us/heritage-alert/current-alerts/125573-heritage-alert-jingu-gaien #JinguGaien #Tokyo https://apnews.com/article/tokyo-jingu-gaien-environment-parks-heritage-a80a11852d9d609dbb610545d2a5bb63 🔸Alert carries no penalties, so remains to be seen whether the developer & Tokyo Metropolitan Govt back down for fear of being seen as the anti-heritage "meanies".

  🔸Just like Mitsui Fudosan Co. said they would last week when Japan's media & public were mainly occupied with barking at the squirrel in the election tree🙄
