Citizen collaboration in Yokohama is hot this summer!

One of the features of the "Yokohama City Citizen Collaboration Ordinance" is that Article 10 stipulates that "citizens can propose citizen collaboration projects to the government." In order to connect the pioneering and flexible ideas of citizens to solve local issues and create attractive towns, Civic Affairs Bureau has implemented the experimental project proposal support project proposal support based on Article 10 of the Ordinance. In fiscal 2019, the three organizations adopted for this project have concluded a collaborative contract with Yokohama City and are engaged in various initiatives under their respective themes. We introduce cases where citizens and administrative departments cooperate and work together while demonstrating each other's wisdom and know-how.
