The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Musashino University have signed a cooperation agreement to revitalize the Tokyo Metropolitan Housing, which is having an adverse effect on the local community, such as the decline of residents' association activities due to the aging of the population.Students move into the metropolitan housing around Koto Ward, where the Musashino University campus is located, and Nishitokyo City, and participate in community association activities.
According to Musashino University in Tokyo, Musashino University students will be able to live in a metropolitan house with a small rent burden, and a few students will be able to share a room in a 2DK or 3DK room.Encourage students to participate in community association activities such as seasonal events and cleaning activities.
Musashino University plans to start moving in after the fall of 2022 after recruiting and coordinating students who wish to move in.We expect the growth of students not only through community association activities and revitalization of metropolitan housing, but also through interaction with residents.
There are about 25 metropolitan housing units in Tokyo, and they are still very popular because they can move in at a lower rent than private rental housing.However, the aging of residents is advancing, and there are many metropolitan housing where 80% or more are occupied by elderly people aged 65 and over.
Most of the elderly residents are two couples or single-person households, and their participation in community association activities and community activities is decreasing as their physical strength declines.For this reason, there are some metropolitan housing that cannot be secured by participants in seasonal events and cleaning activities.
