Seiichi Oi, professor at Kyoto Imperial University, elected to the Kyoto City Council.

Abstract

Dr. Seiichi Oi, who was appointed as the first assistant professor of the Third Department of Civil Engineering at Kyoto Imperial University at the young age of 23, laid the foundation for sanitary engineering education and research centered on water supply and sewerage, and as a leading expert in water supply engineering, he demonstrated his efforts in the construction of water supply facilities in various regions. However, it is not known at all that he was elected to the Kyoto City Assembly in Taisho 7. In this article, I would like to introduce Dr. Seiichi Oi's activities during his time as an alderman through "Kyoto City Council Minutes" and other sources.
