Overview
Six years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. The recovery and reconstruction in disaster areas is steadily progressing. The session will look back on how we have been working on the recovery and reconstruction, and present the actions of "Build Back Better" with a focus on infrastructure and community development.
In addition, along with steady reconstruction, we need to pass on our experiences and lessons learned from the disaster. The session will introduce efforts from various affected areas to transmit disaster experience.
