Preliminary Trends of Implemented Projects and Utilized Systems in Walkable Programs in Japan

For the 53 local governments that have been designated as town walkable areas

Abstract

This study aims to provide a preliminary report on the comprehensive trends of projects in 53 local governments that have designated areas for improvement of comfort and amenities for staying in the city. By organizing the Walkable Promotion Program system and studying each municipality's urban renewal and development plans, it was found that it is possible to use the system to implement a wide range of projects in the zones. However, since there are only a few cases in which the system is used comprehensively, and projects are undertaken, it was found that further agreements and diversification of project entities are needed in the future.
