Regarding the selection results for the business operator to carry out the "Water and Light Symbol Space Creation Project" for Osaka, the Water City, in fiscal year 2026.
We have posted the answers to your questions. The selection committee (presentation review) will be held on the afternoon of September 28th (Monday). Further details will be announced after September 24th .
The Water City Osaka Consortium (hereinafter referred to as "SOC") has adopted "Sustainable Co-creation of Waterfronts: Water City Osaka" as its vision and "Enhancing the Unique Charms of Water City Osaka" as its mission. It is promoting initiatives such as creating attractive waterfront areas and developing spaces and environments that contribute to the revitalization of water transport, as well as further revitalizing water corridors.
The Osaka-Kansai Expo, held in 2025, served as a catalyst for the creation of new attractions using water and light, such as water shows and the illumination of bridges and other structures.
To actively utilize the legacy of the Expo and to revitalize water transport during the quiet winter season and create even more vibrancy along the waterfront, we will light up the waterfront in the eastern part of Nakanoshima, a key area of the water corridor, to create a "symbolic space of water and light."
In implementing the project, we will utilize the knowledge and know-how of private businesses and others to make it more effective and efficient, so we will be soliciting contractors through an open call for project proposals.
