The demolition of Kitakyushu’s historic Tanga Market will commence in October, starting with two southern blocks. The market, over a century old, is being redeveloped due to aging infrastructure and flood risks. New commercial facilities and a university building are planned for the site. The market’s redevelopment faced delays due to a major fire and the COVID-19 pandemic. Source: NHK
