It can, therefore, be expected to create a safe, secure and pleasant space for pedestrian movement.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><\/p>\n<p class=\"comText left mt1\">The proposal as a whole was evaluated as presenting a good balance of function, landscape and design in addition to having technological and managerial excellence.<br \/>\r\nAs the winning firm will be entrusted with the preliminary design (basic design) work, EJEC will be able to show its strength in creating an endearing spaces together with Kobe citizens.<br \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/BE-1205-s-e1555901377698.jpg\" alt=\"EJEC wins the best design award in a pedestrian bridge design competition held by Kobe Municipal Authority\" width=\"830\" height=\"460\"><br>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/EL-1214-s.jpg\" alt=\"EJEC wins the best design award in a pedestrian bridge design competition held by Kobe Municipal Authority\" width=\"830\" height=\"460\">\n\n\n<div class=\"comInfoBox mt4\">\n<p class=\"comText left\">Location: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/XG9ho7nWexyPHFq19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #0063C6;\">&#174;Google Map<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":16654,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/web\/?p=2574","footnotes":""},"categories":[40,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bridge","category-commendation","en-US"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24393"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30274,"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24393\/revisions\/30274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ejec.ej-hds.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
