MAJOR INTER-CITY INITIATIVES 6. ACTION PLAN 7. INITIATIVES UNDERTAKEN IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Executive Summary 1.1. Introduction 1Kobe is home to many incredible resources and attractions--the nature-rich cityscape, characterized by nature and surrounded by seas and mountains; the lifestyle, created through an open-hearted and accepting people that work actively to incorporate foreign cultures; and manufacturing technologies, made famous by products like chemical shoes, cakes and pastries, sake, and pearls. Kobe is also known for its recovery from the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995, which was made possible through the cooperation and community development of the locals. “BE KOBE,” a message of civic pride established on the 20-year anniversary of the disaster, embodies the belief that the charm of Kobe lies within its people. “City of Design KOBE” represents a new vision of Kobe, one in which the locals reevaluate the city’s characteristics through the five design perspectives below, and create new points of charm for Kobe, through participation and cooperation. 1. Design that enriches daily life 2. Design that utilizes individuality and charm 3. Design that vitalizes the economy 4. Design that heightens creativity 5. Design that helps cultivate the soul and connect the city to the next generation Design as conceptualized by Kobe City isn’t just about visible colors and shapes--it’s also about the various creative efforts and systems that help make a city more livable.
