S15·E23 – Lives Inside a Huge "Danchi" Housing Complex
2024-07-26 • 30 min
A huge housing complex with 7,000 households is the setting for this project. The Hanamigawa Danchi in Chiba City was built in 1968. With rents cheaper than those in central Tokyo, something has begun to change recently, as new residents join the old residents. Some have moved in after retirement, others are busy renovating their rooms, and some run stores in the shopping district of the complex. People from all walks of life are living in the same group of buildings. We spent three days walking around the mammoth complex and listened to the voices of the people we met.
