The 6th International Forum on the “FutureCity” Initiative
Creating “FutureCities” to Invigorate Localities: Universally Appealing Communities
The 6th International Forum on the “FutureCity” Initiateve was held on August 30, 2016.
The aim of the invigoration of localities is to halt the decline in the birthrate and the aging of the population, conquer the depopulation of regional areas and the shrinking of regional economies, and secure long-term growth potential into the future.
As populations decline and society ages, what concrete actions should we take to build sustainable communities in which everyone can lead rich, comfortable, and healthy lives? At the Forum, we discussed this question from a variety of perspectives, looking at the examples of overseas cities, as well as advanced case studies of Japanese cities that have been implementing the “FutureCity” Initiative.
