The City of Kitakyushu has been known as one of the most innovative local governments in environmental actions. It was designated as a model eco-city by the Japanese government in 2008, a “Future City” in 2011, an “SDGs Future City” in 2018. This is a result of collaboration among industry, government, citizen, and academia, whose activities were based on environment in citizen-driven community. This research examines how such citizen-driven community was formed, and how various activities were implemented mainly in Yahata-Higashida area in the City of Kitakyushu. While examining the cases, P2M method is used to find circumstances of the model city community management that are applicable to other cities.
