A chance to do more than rebuild Tohoku
Disaster an opportunity for new national paradigm

Bloomberg

Miyagi Gov. Yoshihiro Murai stands before a gathering in Tokyo of 300 representatives of the nation's biggest companies and community organizations.

It's his last stop of the day and his third visit to the capital in a month. Murai races through the high points of his 80-page plan to rebuild Miyagi, to raise it up from its devastation with the help of economic development. Suddenly, Murai pauses. His face breaks into a grin.

"We're coming up with a lot of benefits for businesses in Miyagi," he says. "So I hope you come before we run out of land."
