Preface Access to safe water is an essential part of human rights and the foundation for a healthy life. However, even today, the world witnesses many instances of people lacking access to this essential commodity. To counter this situation, a new global agenda - the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - was unanimously adopted by the member states of the United Nations in 2015. The agenda included a dedicated goal on water (Goal 6) that aims to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.” Target 6.1 of Goal 6 estimates that “by 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.” Japan has been contributing for years to the development of the water supply sector. When Japan started to construct modern water supply systems, it faced vast challenges with regard to expansion of service coverage and improvement of service quality, as is the case in most developing countries. However, it overcame these challenges with the help of proactive efforts, including the introduction of the overseas technology, and achieved the objective of nationwide coverage of safe water supply.

  • Case Studies on Initiatives Capitalizing on Townscapes Featuring Historical Buildings
    Section 2. Various initiatives by local governments, communities and businesses 1. Initiatives by local governments and communities (1) Case studies on initiatives capitalizing on townscapes featuring historical buildings 〔Kawagoe city, Saitama Prefecture: Efforts to rejuvenate the city with its historical assets〕 Kawagoe, a traditional commercial city, began to see its traditional downtown decline in the mid 1960s, as the commercial center was moving to more convenient areas around the train stations. The traditional downtown, which features Kurazukuri or traditional Kawagoe city merchant houses, attracted the expert attention for its cultural values. Yet there were no ★ ◎Saitama city initiatives to preserve the historical townscape as a whole. In 1983, however, local junior shop owners, historians, and architects who were interested in the future of the city’s historical townscape gathered to launch “Kawagoe Kuranokai”, a group committed to preserving the townscape. Prompted by the group, the association of shop owners in the Ichibangai shopping street established Ichibangai shopping street “rules on street development,” a voluntary agreement aimed at town-making that makes good use of Kurazukuri. The agreement required shop owners to gain the approval of the “townscape committee”̶ made up of shop owners, residents, experts and city officials̶before refurbishing their shop buildings. The similar arrangement was adopted by another shop owner association in the neighboring Kawagoe Ginza shopping street, which set up a review board called “Taisho Roman Committee” in 1994. The Kawagoe municipal government moved to support these initiatives. It launched a comprehensive plan that transcended the barriers between the sections in charge of cultural assets, commerce and industry, and city planning.
