the stable bedrock of the Musashino
plateau.Additionally its situation on high
ground means the area’s chances of
flooding are less than minimal.

Safe as houses ■ The location of Nakano Central
Park is designated as an evacuation site, for its favorable safety conditions.

■ Nakano contains a hospital officially designated as a “Disaster Center Hospital,” for its ability to handle disaster-related emergencies.

■ The location of the project
features adequate spatial conditions
for the installation of generators in
case of power failure.

Nakano Central Park, in coordination with
the local government, is redeveloping
contingency measures to prepare for the
eventuality of a quake or another disaster.
These include:

■ Emergency supply storehouse
(for Nakano Ward)
■ Disaster prevention well
■ Disaster prevention water tanks
■ Disaster evacuee acceptance space [SOUTH]
■ Battery charging stations (for mobile phones,etc.) [SOUTH - Running Station]
■ Toilets for use during disasters [SOUTH - Running Station]
■ Water supply (water tap) [SOUTH - Running Station]

Nakano Central Park uses a specially designed seismic isolation system to achieve a quake resistance 1.25 times more powerful than current requirements.

Part of Nakano Central Park’s seismic technology includes a damper which sustains the structure in event of a major earthquake.
