History of City Hall Development

　Yokohama City was born in 1889 as a small city with a population of 116,000.
　The city hall, which has continued to walk along with the development of the city, has often changed its position mainly in the city center due to the burning of the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Yokohama Air Raid, and is now the eighth generation city hall.
　The city hall of the previous generation (7th generation) (PDF: 1,978KB) was built in 1959 as one of the 100th anniversary projects of the opening of the port.

　The old city hall has deteriorated facilities and equipment due to more than 50 years (at the time of the formulation of the new city hall maintenance basic plan in March 2013), lack of offices and functions in multiple buildings. There were urgent issues, such as reduced citizen services and operational efficiency due to decentralization, the generation of private building rent, and the need to strengthen crisis management functions.
　In order to solve these issues, we will proceed with the examination for the maintenance of a new city hall, formulate the "New City Hall Maintenance Basic Plan" in March 2014, start construction in August 2017, June 2020. Full service started on the 29th.

　The city hall, located at the junction of the Kannai-District and Minato Mirai 21 district, has been relocated and newly built with commercial facilities that form the bustle of the city.
　The ordering method uses a design and construction batch ordering method, such as "securing earthquake resistance", "introduction of advanced environmental equipment and functions", "reducing construction period", "revitalizing the local economy", etc. In order to emphasize the viewpoints and to secure the performance and specifications required by the city (orderer), from the stage of organizing design requirements, etc., an expert CMr (Construction Manager) ※We have introduced support from 1.
　The atrium, which symbolizes the city hall, is directly connected to Minato Mirai Line Bashamichi Station, and is used for various events and ceremonies as a space where everyone can easily gather, get close to and relax.
　For the operation of commercial facilities, ML (pass-through master lease) method based on the "Ordinance on Operation of Commercial Facilities in Yokohama City Hall (established in December 2017)" ※By adopting 2, we were able to create a lively atmosphere like Yokohama, such as attracting local stores and attractive stores in the city.

※１： At each stage of planning, ordering, design, construction, etc., while maintaining technical neutrality, stand on the side of the ordering party ( Motoichi) and perform various management such as design examination, process management, quality control, cost management, etc. Who do it
※２： In the conventional loan, the loan fee is contracted in advance by real estate appraisal (fixed amount), but in this method, the loan fee is determined after the contract with the ML operator, and the loan fee during the contract period In order to change (it may or may exceed the rent based on real estate appraisal), it has been decided that the loan will be based on the ordinance based on Article 237, Paragraph 2 of the Local Autonomy Law.
