From an environmental future city to an SDGs future city

Yokohama City was selected as an environmental future city in 2011, and has developed economically while suppressing the environmental impact, and has been actively promoting community development initiatives to improve the quality of citizens' lives. In the future, we will stage up the efforts of the future environmental city and, based on the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) agreed by the world, simultaneously solve environmental, economic and social issues in Yokohama. We are taking on the challenge of further developing it from the perspective of solutions and global partnerships and evolving it as an “SDGs Future City”.

“Environmental Future City” Initiative (“FutureCity”)
The “Environmental Future City” concept is one of the 21 national strategic projects positioned as the “New Growth Strategy” of the country (decided by the Cabinet in June 2010). Not only so-called environmental issues, but also a well-balanced and rich city that responds to a super-aging society and demonstrates the creativity of the city to create vitality, that is, "a town where everyone lives" We aim to create a vibrant city. In addition, by spreading these results both domestically and internationally, we will lead to the revitalization of the economy.
In December 2011, Yokohama City was selected by the government as an "environmental future city."
