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.

Be the first of your friends. 49 Tweet 579 Tokyo -- a city hard to describe. But we've given it a shot. By Steve Trautlein, Matt Alt, Hiroko Yoda, Melinda Joe, Andrew Szymanski and W. David Marx. 1. The world's most sophisticated railways With 13 subway lines and more than 100 surface routes run by Japan Railways and other private companies, Tokyo's railway system seems like it was designed to win world records. It's rare to find a location in the metropolitan area that can’t be reached with a train ride and a short walk. Now, if only the government could devise a way to keep middle-aged salarymen from groping women onboard. 2. Sky-high one-upmanship Tokyo Sky Tree. (Tim Hornyak/CNNGo) When officials in Tokyo learned that the new Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower in China would be 610 meters tall -- the same height that was planned for Tokyo Sky Tree, then under construction -- they did what any rational person would do: They added 24 meters to the top of Sky Tree to preserve its claim as the world’s tallest tower. Now complete and scheduled to open in May, the Guinness-certified structure features shops, restaurants and an observation deck that lets you see almost all the way to Guangzhou.

    JR East Technical Review No.37-2017

    Special feature article Efforts to Improve Safety Level According to “Group Safety Plan 2018” Takashi Hirokawa Transport Safety Department in East Japan Railway Company Abstract East Japan Railway Company (JR East) regards “safety” as the most important issue of management and aims for “extreme safety levels” in both physical and applicational aspects. Currently, in cooperation with the technology development departments, physical measures are being implemented according to the direction clarified in the five-year Safety Plan, “JR East Group Safety Plan 2018”. •Keywords: Safety, Extreme safety levels, Group Safety Plan 2018, Systems for safety 1. Introduction JR East has placed safety as the top priority issue since the company’s inception in April 1987 and is continuously working on improving safety in both physical and applicational aspects. We established the sixth five-year Safety Plan, “JR East Group Safety Plan 2018”, in April 2014 and the group as a whole is working to achieve “zero passenger fatalities and injuries” and “zero employee fatalities”. As a result of such efforts, the number of railway operation accidents as shown in Fig. 2 has dropped significantly from that at the start of the company. Even so, the decline in number of level crossing obstruction accidents and injury/fatality accidents has slowed, and incidents have occurred that could have resulted in death or injury even though they did not lead to railway operation accidents. So, we need to continue to keep up with efforts that go even further than before in an
