Planning and Realization of Kohoku New Town

For the development of Kohoku New Town, Yokohama City has advocated three principles: "prevention of overexploitation", "town development through citizen participation", and "establishment of urban agriculture".
A place where local people, Yokohama City, and the public corporation gather and discuss in creating the policy of the “what kind of town to make this town” plan (Kohoku New Town Development Measures Council * Later to the Kohoku New Town Business Promotion Liaison Council) ) And said that the meeting was repeated many times. As a result, four town development policies have been compiled.

I aimed to create a city where memories of my hometown and the memories of the babbling of satoyama and brooks that I played as a child.

We aimed to create a city where diverse natural environments suited to the characteristics of the terrain, such as mountains, slopes, and valleys, as continuous as possible, rather than fragmentary, and to create a city where diverse natural environments suited to the characteristics of the topography remain.

In addition to a green network consisting of continuous parks such as mountains, slopes, valleys, and other parks and green roads, the pedestrian-only roads that cooperate functionally with major railway stations and bus stops, etc. We aimed to create a city where pedestrians can walk safely by clearly separating the places where pedestrians can pass.

Incorporating the high-speed railway construction project into the development of Kohoku New Town, access public transportation in the east, west, north and south directions, establish a living base centered on the station square, and the town center district (around center north station, center south center south station) was set systematically.
