Current status of Kohoku New Town and Policy for Town Development

Kohoku New Town, which spreads over hills in Tsuzuki Ward  , is located about 12 km north-northwest of the city center and 25 km southwest of the city center. It was announced in 1965 as one of the six major projects based on the basic principles of "prevention of overexploitation", "establishment of urban agriculture", "town development with participation of residents" and "multifunctional complex town development".

Of these, about 1,341ha, the “First District, Second District, and Central District Land Readjustment Project” was implemented by the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (currently the “Urban Renaissance Agency”). At present, we designate area where business was enforced as city planning and town planning consultation district and ask for consultation aiming at formation of good living environment.
