This Month's Topic: Future of Public Works Public Relations Center

We asked Head of Development Takeda about the future public works plans, criticized recently for poor management.

Q: Why the insufficient support of urban facilities? A: We are now in the process of improving efficiency of all services.

Q: Any plans for rural public works? A: We should change the paradigm of the urban and the rural, since the distance between cities has drastically shortened.

Q: Future plans for public works? A: We plan to follow Nagoya's example with the adoption of zoning to redesign the city.

Koriyama
Nishikoriyama City Construction Project

Until now, the super-skyscrapers were designed for a single function, either commercial or residential.

The Nishikoriyama City is an experimental building designed to function as a complete city. It will house business, residence and public facilities together.

New construction methods solved the problem of supporting a floor space that measures 500m on each side. The construction is slated to finish in 2210.

Our government regards this project as a model planned city showcasing improved efficiency and the beginning of decentralization.

Tokyo Bay
Tokyo Bay Development Plan

The plan focuses on improving the transportation and expanding the commercial area surrounding Tokyo Bay.

Projects include: the "Shin-Ohgishima Bridge" (completion in 2113) linking Yokohama and Haneda; the "Triple Bayline" automobile tunnel (completion in 2113); the "Trustliner" (service begins in December), a new train line. These will all help ease congestion in the city.

New cities are also being developed along the new transportation corridors. The "Sunfai Omori" in Ota ward, and "Ichikawa Finetown" in Urayasu are just two.

These new cities will work toward improving the growth of the Japanese economy.

Nagoya
Nagoya Sewage Treatment Expansion

The construction of an underground sewage treatment plant in Nagoya was to be completed this year.

However, the unexpected rise in population has delayed the completion of the plant while it is expanded.

The expansion will include: 3 processing facilities; 2 secondary processing facilities; a purifying facility; and connection to the current facilities.

An increase in high-grade recycling will be achieved by the expansion of the underground facility below Chigusa Ward.
