Specific landscape formation historic buildings
Last Updated November 20, 2024
In Yokohama City, as a system that can designate historical buildings that are particularly important in promoting the creation of attractive cityscapes, in December 2013, the ordinance on the creation of attractive cityscapes in Yokohama City (Scenery Ordinance) was partially revised and the "Specific Landscape Formation Historic Building" system was newly established.
This system promotes the use of facilities that contribute to improving the attractiveness of the city and creating vitality, such as cultural and tourist facilities and restaurants, taking advantage of the attractiveness of the historical landscape.
In many cases, conforming to the Building Standards Law is an issue when a historical building is undergoing large-scale renovation with a change in use for utilization.
By obtaining the consent of the Building Examination Committee based on the designation under this system, the Building Standards Law can be exempted, and it is possible to consider balanced conservation and its utilization while retaining the value of historical buildings.
