  • Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City That Pursues Harmony
    Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City that Pursues Harmony between Conservation and Development- 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY’S BIODIVERSITY RESOURCES Geography The city of Kanazawa is located near the center of Ishikawa Prefecture. It is bordered to the north by the Noto Peninsula and to the west by the Sea of Japan, with its coast covered by sand dunes which extend north into the famous Uchinada Dune. Mt. Okuiozen (939 m) and other mountainous areas to the east separate the city from neighboring Toyama Prefecture, while mountains in the southeast rise to altitudes of over 1,500 m above the sea level, with Mt. Naradake (1,644 m) being the highest peak within the metropolitan area. Kanazawa‟s most important watercourses, the Sai and Asano Rivers, have their sources in these mountain systems, from where they flow towards the Sea of Japan, dividing the city into 3 plateaus. Further downstream, the Sai River divides the plains to the west of the city into a northern and a southern area, with different characteristics. The northern area is an alluvial plain formed by deposits of gravel, sand, clay and silt, which have been transported by the Sai, Asano, Kanakusari and Morishita Rivers. It is characterized by low humidity and mild slopes and contains the largest body of stagnant water in Ishikawa Prefecture, the Kahoku Lagoon (4.13 km2). On the other hand, the southern plain represents the northeastern part of the alluvial fan formed by Tedori River, the longest river in the prefecture, having a more hilly structure than the northern plain.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The City of Kanazawa, a "human scale" city of approximately 450,000 people, spreads out from the quiet rows of houses and the black luster of their tile roofs in the old urban district. The clear water of the twin Sai and Asano Rivers flows through the city surrounded by a lifestyle that fosters traditional arts and crafts, blessed to sit within a lush and fertile natural mountain environment. In such a context, Kanazawa has been valued as a sustainable Creative City which maintains a balance between culture and economy. For example, in the foreword to the Japanese edition of his book "The Creative City", the world's leading Creative City theorist Charles Landry places Kanazawa alongside Bologna and Montreal, describing it as Japan's model Creative City. Further, in March 2008, the Commissioner for Cultural Affairs awarded the City of Kanazawa commendation as a "Creative City of Art and Culture," a designation newly established by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs. It is no exaggeration to say that Kanazawa is the representative Japanese Creative City. 7 The Beautiful Four Seasons of Kanazawa 8 9 Kanazawa's rapid succession of innovative public policies has brought the city its reputation as a Creative City both in Japan and abroad. At the end of the 20th century, the brick warehouse of the old spinning mill was transformed into the Kanazawa Citizen's Art Center, a groundbreaking hands-on cultural facility available for citizens to engage freely in artistic activities "24 hours a day, 365 days a year," attracting significant attention. Then at the beginning of the 21st century, while continuing to meet the challenge of its own identity of traditional culture, Kanazawa constructed the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa in the heart of the city, a museum focused on the contemporary arts, in an effort to create a local culture suited to the new century.
