Canal City, Fukuoka, Hakata, Japan

---

Located adjacent to Fukuoka's entertainment district, and between the commercial business district and retail core, The Jerde Partnership's Canal City Hakata is the largest private development in the history of Japan ($ billion for 234,460 m² ( sq. ft.)). Aside from these facts Canal City is fascinating for its approach to design at an urban scale and the relationship between commerce and the city. The basic design, commercial and other tenants overlooking the main canal artery, breaks down the scale of the development, creating unique districts within the whole, expressing commerce as a social generator.
