Positioning of the New Plan With a view to becoming the city with the least environmental load in the world, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has developed a broad range of environmental initiatives, including the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program*1, in accordance with the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Master Plan formulated in March 2008. However, circumstances surrounding TMG’s environmental initiatives have significantly changed in the eight years since the formulation of the plan. Combating climate change issues has become a global-level challenge as proven by the fact that a new international framework for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction etc. was upheld at the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Paris from November to December in 2015. Japan has also had many challenges to work on: the difficulty in energy supply and demand revealed after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, growing resource constraints, improvements in air environment affected by particulate matter (PM2.5*2), and conservation of biodiversity. With a far-sighted roadmap to solve these challenges in mind, TMG needs to cope flexibly with changes in values II. Directions of Future Environmental Policies II. Directions of Future Environmental Policies expected on a global basis with an increased recognition of environmental measures, be suitably responsive to shifts in social and economic conditions and technological innovation, and aggressively develop advanced environmental initiatives. In 2020, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in Tokyo. Environmental policies required of TMG also include presenting visitors with a view of what a sustainable city looks like through the Games, encouraging society as a whole to realize sustainability, promoting cooperative and engaged efforts for the realization, and handing down the results as a legacy. We have formulated the new Tokyo Environmental Master Plan to introduce Tokyo residents to the Tokyo of the future and the development of policies to realize it. We will develop the policies in an all-out effort to pursue our ideals through cooperation with citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders. III. Ensuring Promotion of the Plan III.

Trends Surrounding Tokyo (1) Social and economic trends In global terms: Population is growing and concentrated in cities Based on the statistics prepared by the United Nations Development Programme*3 (UNDP), the world population will reach approximately 9.7 billion in 2050, increasing from approximately 7.3 billion in 2015, as a result of population growth in Asia, Africa, etc. Urban population accounted for 13% of the world population in 1900, 29% in 1950, and 54% in 2014. Population is expected to become increasingly concentrated in cities worldwide, likely resulting in 66% of the world population living in cities by 2050. ▼ Estimated world population ▼ Urban and rural population of the world II.

The population of Tokyo was 13,160,000 in 2010 and will hit its peak and begin to decrease in 2020, declining by approximately 20% in 2060 from 2010. The elderly population will rapidly increase from 2010 to 2060 in Tokyo. In particular, the population aged 75 and over will more than double, with its percentage of the Japanese population growing from 9.4% to 25.0%. ▼ Transition of population of Japan and Tokyo ▼ Transition of population by age group in Tokyo III.

    Data Collection Survey on the Outer Ring Road Diversion Channel in the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan for the Chao Phraya River Basin in the Kingdom of Thailand Data Collection Survey on the Outer Ring Road Diversion Channel in the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan for the Chao Phraya River Basin in the Kingdom of Thailand Final Report (Summary) June 2018 Japan International Cooperation Agency Pacific Consultants Co. Ltd. Oriental Consultants Global Co. Ltd. Data Collection Survey on the Outer Ring Road Diversion Channel in the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan for the Chao Phraya River Basin in the Kingdom of Thailand Summary 1: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE 1.1 Background The Chao Phraya River Basin (hereinafter called “the Basin”), which occupies about one-third of the total territory of the Kingdom of Thailand, have provided benefits for the agriculture through frequent floods. However, due to of rapid economic growth, the land use has drastically changed as more properties and assets concentrate in potential flood areas. Mitigation of floods risks has become an urgent issue due to the urban development. During the severe flood in 2011, seven industrial estates in the north of Bangkok were inundated, and 469 Japanese companies were affected by this severe flood. The economic loss was estimated at approximately THB 1,400 billion. JICA prepared and submitted the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan for the Chao Phraya River Basin (hereinafter called “the Master Plan (JICA MP)”) upon the request from the Royal Thai Government in June 2013. In JICA MP, the city of Bangkok and the surrounding areas (to the east of Tha Chin River, and to the south of Pasak River in the city of Ayutthaya), which the Royal Thai Government designated as the priority Protected Area, were defined as the priority area for protection, for which the following structural and nonstructural measures were proposed.

    Part I Developments in Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration that Underpin Japan’s Economic Growth ~ Strategic infrastructure management that brings about productivity revolution ~ Section 1 Japanese Economy and Its Surrounding Conditions I Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration and Tourism Transport Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Infrastructure, Chapter 1, Relationships between Japanese Economy and Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Administration, on the assumption of discussions described in chapter 2 and following sections, looks at the significance of the effects infrastructure development has on economic growth with awareness of severe circumstances surrounding the Japanese economy from the perspective of history and statistical data. Section 1, Japanese Economy and Its Surrounding Conditions, provides an overview of an increasingly declining population, especially that of a productive-age population, to become a super aging society with an estimated aging rate of close to 40% in 2050, and a severe fiscal position due to rapidly growing, long-term outstanding debts and other circumstances. Section 2, Economic Trends and Infrastructure Development, looks at how infrastructure has supported peoples’ lives and the economy of the time by exploring economic growth and the history of infrastructure development (Edo period and post-war economic growth period). In international comparisons of the level of public investment, we describe the need to consider Japan’s poor land and severe natural environment, provide an overview of the stock effect of the infrastructure, and examine its impact on the infrastructure, productivity, and economic growth.

  • CONSERVATION and RESTORATION of RIVER ENVIRONMENT Kazuo OKAYAMA1, Noboru MARUOKA2 1 INTRODUCTION Japan's Rivers Are One Of
    CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF RIVER ENVIRONMENT Kazuo OKAYAMA1, Noboru MARUOKA2 1 INTRODUCTION Japan’s rivers are one of its most precious resources. They are the habitat for a wide variety of life and are a key element in the natural environments and cultures of each region of the country. The people’s close relationship and interaction with rivers and riverside environments is an integral part of the national culture. River areas are of inestimable value as spaces for rest and recreation. On the other hand, ongoing construction work such as straightening river channels and building concrete revetments is necessary to prevent flood damage and landslides. Unfortunately, these kinds of effective flood control measures often come at the expense of altering the natural environments of rivers and the surrounding Fig. 1 The River in Hokkaido is an example of a desirable river environment. landscape. The rise in the standard of living that has taken place in Japan in the past few decades has created new needs and new expectations of a higher quality of life and an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of pleasant environment. This has led to people taking a new look at problems related to environmental protection and building regional communities. As a result, new concepts are being advanced for creating diverse river environments and spaces along rivers to meet functional needs. It was against this background that Japan’s River Law was amended in 1997 to include the goal of Fig. 2 A Tokyo river encased in concrete protecting and improving river environments. Since then, energetic efforts have been made and public works projects are being carried out to meet this new goal.

  • Typhoon Hagibis Strikes the Japanese Archipelago: What Happened Behind the Scenes As Japan’S Capital Narrowly Escaped Becoming Submerged
    SOCIETY Typhoon Hagibis strikes the Japanese Archipelago: What happened behind the scenes as Japan’s capital narrowly escaped becoming submerged The Arakawa River went above the dangerous water level at multiple points. Although Typhoon Hagibis (Typhoon 19) caused enormous damage to many parts of Japan in 2019, Tokyo saw no dikes collapse and escaped serious flood damage. We investigated the truth of what occurred behind the scenes during the Japanese capital’s escape from submersion, based on the reports of local government officials and flood control facilities. Asano Yuki and Sakurai Shun, Wedge editorial department In October 2019, Typhoon Hagibis brought record rainfall, mainly to Shizuoka Prefecture, the Kanto and Koshinetsu regions and the Tohoku region. Special heavy rain warnings were issued for a total of 13 prefectures, including Tokyo, with dikes breaking at 140 locations along 71 rivers (as of 6:00 AM on November 8), and many parts of the country were seriously damaged, including flooding. Even in this situation, although the levels of many rivers in Tokyo rose higher than usual, the dikes escaped damage. We investigated the truth of what happened behind the scenes to enable the capital to escape submersion. Discuss Japan—Japan Foreign Policy Forum No. 56 30% of the rainfall in the river basin was discharged through the discharge channel Looking back on the desperate situation he experienced when Typhoon Hagibis struck Japan on October 12, Hasegawa Yutaka, director of the Crisis-Management Division at the Katsushika City Office in Tokyo, said, “The water rose above the dangerous water level in the upper reaches of the Nakagawa River and the Ayase River, which run through Katsushika City, and we were in a very bad situation.

The 1923 Taisho Kanto Earthquake is a rare historical earthquake that can be reconstructed in detail because abun- dant datasets were collected by investigations performed just after the earthquake. We examined 13,000 borehole logs from the Tokyo and Nakagawa lowlands to clarify the distribution and thickness of incised-valley fills and soft marine mud that had accumulated since the Last Glacial Maximum Citation: Tanabe, S.; Ishihara, Y.; (LGM) on a grid with a resolution of 150 m × 150 m. We compared these datasets with the distribu- Nakanishi, T.; Stafleu, J.; Busschers, tion of wooden house damage ratios caused by the Taisho Kanto Earthquake.
