2. Urban Planning of Kitakyushu Citya. Trends of urban structure/environment
(1) Expansion of urban areas
Reduction in population density
(2) Decline in population and aging of population in old urban areas
Decrease in public service efficiency
(3) Hollowing out of industries
Decline in vitality and vigorousness in the central urban areas
(4) Delay in renewal of urban areas
Renewal is difficult due to the existence of residential areas on slope ground and road conditions
(5) Rarely used or unused industrial areas
Found in coastal areas due to downsizing or withdrawal of companies
Respect for “intown area”: Expansion of town areas by suburb development ⇒ Regeneration of the intown areas
Utilization of “stock”: Promotion of new developments ⇒ placing importance on efficiency by
utilizing the stockRespect for “quality”: Placing importance on size and
quantity ⇒ respect on high quality
Respect for “collaboration”: Leadership by administration ⇒ collaboration among various players
An environment developing city that brings up and reproduces new life, industry, and nature of the next century.

In the Higashida area, a “land readjustment project” is implemented utilizing large idle sites owned by enterprises, aiming to promote functional integration of commercial, office and residential quarters to ensure new town development. A “Yawata Higashida green village project” is promoted through cooperation among the industrial, public and academic sectors to develop an environment-conscious town, as a model of world’s ecological metropolis that Kitakyushu City aims to be.

Since July 1997, the city has been promoting the Kitakyushu Eco-Town Project, aiming to take a leadership role toward the realization of a sustainable and evolvable society on an axis of the promotion of the environment/recycling industry. The project is based on the alliance among citizens, enterprises, and government that has been developed in the process of overcoming environmental pollution. The project is also based on the technologies, human resources, and industrial infrastructure the city has cultivated as “the town of manufacture” as well as the systematic international environmental cooperation structure having experience for more than 20 years.
