In July, the Machinami Foundation in Japan, a nonprofit organization founded in 1979 under the auspices of the Housing Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, visited Seaside. The members of the organization, whose purpose is to contribute to the betterment of homes and residential environment, were thoroughly engaged in the New Urbanist discussion and tour with help from Ty Nunn, Seaside’s town architect.
