The Yokohama City Planning Council was established as the "Yokohama City Basic City Planning Council" in 1969 as an affiliated organization of the mayor to discuss matters related to city planning in Motoichi. Subsequently, it was transferred to the current name in 1982 and continues to this day.
With the enforcement of the Decentralization Act and the Revised City Planning Act in April 2000, the municipal city planning council was legalized, becoming an indispensable organization in government-designated cities, and the authority to make city planning decisions has been greatly expanded. As a result, the role played by the council has become even greater.
In addition, the composition of the committee was reviewed in accordance with the standards set by the Cabinet Order, and as a result, it was composed of academic experts, Yokohama City Council, and residents of Yokohama.
In addition, with the enforcement of the "Ordinance on Disclosure of Information Held by Yokohama City" (outside site) in July 2000, the City Planning Council is also held publicly.
