I had been a paper boy for the Oregonian in Hillsboro,1 when the city of Portland acquired its first “sister city,” Sapporo. This city, capital and largest city on the island and prefecture of Hokkaido, was later to host the winter Olympics (1972). I had, however, never seriously considered visiting Sapporo until a trip to Japan in early 2003. It was the day after New Year’s when I took the Yamanote Line from Ueno Station in Tokyo to the northern terminus of the Hameda International Airport Monorail line, for the flight to Sapporo. What a change Sapporo is from Honshu and even northern Kyushu. As one crosses Tsugaro Kaikyo and approaches the southeastern coast of Hokkaido, it becomes clear that things are very different. My first thought was of Texas with a backdrop of Oregon’s snow-capped peaks. Compared to the seemingly uninterrupted 600-mile coastal strip of urbanization (except by sea approaching mountains from north of Tokyo to south of Fukuoka on Kyushu was long gone. Instead, there were spaces as wide open, by comparison, as west Texas compared to the urbanization of the U.S.

Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are, respectively, the last stations on the Shinkansen high speed rail line that starts in Tokyo. The larger and more prosperous of the two urban areas is Fukuoka. The trip to Fukuoka started at Kyoto Station, from which I took the Shinkansen southward to Kitakyushsu, another urban area of more than 1,000,000. Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are barely 30 miles apart, but there is a mountain range Hakata Station Fukuoka 1 and a good deal of open space between the two. It would probably be correct to consider Fukuoka and Kitakyushu a single metropolitan area (labor market).

  • Effect of Urbanization on the Urban Climate in Coastal City, Fukuoka
    ICUC9 - 9th International Conference on Urban Climate jointly with 12th Symposium on the Urban Environment Effect of urbanization on the urban climate in coastal city, Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area, Japan Y. Kawamoto Yoichi Kawamoto1 1 Kyushu University, 4-9-1 Shiobaru, Minamiku, Fukuoka, Japan, [email protected] dated : 12 June 2015 1. Introduction Currently, 53.6% of the world's population is living in urban areas and that figure is predicted to continue increasing (United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division, Population Estimates and Projections Section, 2014). However, many cities are facing problems caused by urbanization. The urban heat island phenomenon, one of the urban climate problems, is a typical environmental problem encountered in dense urban areas during summer. The use of sea breeze to mitigate the urban heat island phenomenon has attracted attention in coastal cities. Statistics show that approximately 40% of the world's population lives within 100 km of the coast (World Resources Institute, 2001). Further investigation of the environment in urban areas near the coast is, therefore, important. Japan is a mountainous island nation, and therefore, most of the large cities in Japan are located in coastal areas. In this study, Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area was targeted for investigation. Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area is the fourth largest metropolitan area after Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, all of which are coastal cities. Within these areas, sea breezes are important factors mitigating the air temperature rise during summer. However, ongoing urbanization could be changing not only the mechanism of the energy balance on urban surface, but also the sea breeze system in large coastal cities.

  • Collaboration Between Asia and the City of Kitakyushu for a Ns a Ctio
    Asia andtheCityofKitakyushu Collaboration between IGES DiscussionPaper Actions for a IGES Discussion Paper Actions for a Sustainable Society –Collaboration between Asia and the City of Kitakyushu– Institute for Global Environmental Strategies City of Kitakyushu Foreword This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES). In 2019, the IGES Kitakyushu Urban Centre (formerly, the Kitakyushu Offi ce) will also celebrate its own 20th anniversary since its doors fi rst opened. The Kitakyushu Urban Centre has been raising its level of international recognition by engaging in practical research to contribute to the promotion of sustainable urban development in the Asia-Pacifi c region through collaboration with the City of Kitakyushu, which already made a name for itself in the fi eld international environmental cooperation in the 1980s. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone involved, including the City of Kitakyushu, who has offered us their unshakeable support and encouragement. With the adoption and entry into force of the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), eyes are turning once again to the efforts of sustainable cities. Taking this as an opportunity, we investigated and analysed the factors that enabled Kitakyushu to conduct continuous cooperation activities in diverse areas based on case studies of cooperation with fi ve cities in Asia (Dalian, Phnom Penh, Surabaya, Hai Phong, and Mandalay) and a focus on the intercity cooperation schemes that Kitakyushu has been involved in for almost 40 years. The results of these studies and analyses have been compiled to produce this report. I have high hopes that this book will be helpful for anyone who is currently engaged or considering becoming involved in intercity cooperation.
