Area Management School Launches Accessible Online Correspondence Course

Connecting cities and people, generating vibrancy, and fostering attachment—this is the only correspondence course in Japan dedicated to realizing lively and attractive towns. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, work styles have diversified, and lifestyles have shifted significantly. With changes in the concentration of urban centers and people's values, the importance of enhancing local appeal, solving regional issues, and promoting autonomous revitalization has become a critical theme in urban development. 'Area Management' (Erimane) has become an indispensable concept, actively supported by the government, and the 'Area Management Planner' is the role responsible for planning and leading these activities. Developed by Quol Inc., which has led this field as a specialized consulting company since 2005, this course has produced over 100 graduates since 2018. In response to widespread demand, it is now available as an online correspondence course that can be taken anytime, anywhere. The course has been attended by professionals from major developers such as Mitsui Fudosan, Mitsubishi Estate, and Nomura Real Estate, as well as infrastructure companies, and is highly recommended for local governments, management organizations, and students. A certificate of completion is awarded to those who finish the entire course.
