Already twenty years -or still twenty years

カテゴリ： 10-line essays

-not in age but in social status , so I cannot mention anything except for what I saw and remember
-While I spent my college day in Kobe, witnessing the reconstruction.
However...
Two years ago or so, when I went to one of the towns which had been damaged badly by massive fire, I was astonished by large emporium buildings in front of the station.
Of course, since I came to Kobe after the earthquake disaster, I didn't know that this town had been downtown with a lot of small traditional shops and built-up residential districts before the earthquake disaster.
But at that time, I remember having an impression that it looked seedy inside while this emporium was grand in outward appearance, -I confess .
tall buildings backfired ; retail space on upper and basement floor remained unsold and this building became under deficit operation.
While there would be no denying disposition to construct safer city after the tragedy of massive fire in built-up area,
A staff who had worked on urban planning talked on TV about regret that they didn't communicate enough with local residence.
In twenty years, Kobe has been revived remarkably, but at the same time, some say that reconstruction hasn't finished .
I'm also the one who would like to take this occasion to ask all the people working on reconstruction after 3.11 earthquake disaster to take this word NOT as wet blanket but a lesson to avoid repeating mistakes caused in Kobe;
Only large constructors from the central city were benefited, leaving people and local economy behind.
