“Compact but Livable Cities”

Developing compact cities is a goal for many cities facing urban development challenges today – but why do we need to encourage compact development? What are the benefits and costs associated with compact city development, or more broadly, compact urban form?

Cities today are striving to develop not just compact but also livable and sustainable cities. To address this emerging need, this Technical Deep Dive will look into the concept, objectives, framework and outcomes of “compact but livable” cities initiatives in a practical manner.

So how do we get there? Building on the above, participants will learn the necessary steps toward compact city development, discussing plans, policies, regulations along with useful tools for planning, regulating, and financing. Participants will also come together to share experiences of challenges, innovations and policies that have been or are being tested, to learn from one another.

Compact city development is two-fold: managing density and managing sprawl,

i.e. optimizing density while also maintaining livable environments, and at the same time minimizing the extent of built-up land to preserve sufficient open and green space. This may involve land use regulations, strong public transport corridors, regenerating and repurposing land, among many other aspects.

Based on this shared understanding of the objective, this Technical Deep Dive and the Resilience Cities 100 summit, delivered under the auspices of the Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) program in collaboration with World Bank Group KSBs and GSG, City of Toyama and the Government of Japan, will bring World Bank Urban and Transport Task Team Leaders and their respective clients (City government officials, line ministries, and others) together to discuss compact cities, explore policy options and share examples of successful interventions

Background

Urbanization is occurring at an unprecedented pace and scale in developing world, and as cities expand without proper regulatory framework and planning, living environments will be degraded, GHG emissions will increase, and cities will be increasingly more vulnerable to disasters. Compact city planning tools can help to support and foster economic growth while addressing these concerns.

Among countries that have experienced rapid growth and urban sprawl, Japan presents many lessons to learn from. Having faced massive urbanization as early as the mid-20th century, Japan hosts one of the world’s most advanced policy imperatives on making urban spaces accessible, livable, safe and resilient. It has continuously dealt with the fallout of natural disasters and climate change in rural and urban areas alike. Facing a rapidly aging society, Japan has also developed solutions enabling the elderly population to maintain independence and self-reliance while facilitating the daily lives of the shrinking youth. Japan has demonstrated that even with high population density, life can be comfortable and livable for all ages, classes and disabilities.

Toyama City, where the site visit of the Technical Deep Dive and the Resilience Cities 100 conference will be held, has been selected as a case study for the model compact city in OECD report on “Compact City Policies: A Comparative Assessment.” The policy tools on compact city policies in an aging/depopulating society, incentives to concentrate residential development along the transportation corridors, and PPPs in public transport have been unique, enabling lower expenditure on public services while enhancing proximity to transport stations. It is also notable that the city was selected as one of the strategic

partner cities under TDLC’s City Partnership Program.

What is a ‘compact but livable’ city? How do we get there? How to manage density and sprawl while not hindering the economic growth? What can other countries bring to the table while learning from the experiences of Japan?

Organizers and Partners

The conference will be organized under the auspices of the World Bank Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) program, a partnership of the Government of Japan and the World Bank. TDLC supports and facilitates strategic WBG and client country collaboration with select Japanese cities, agencies and partners for joint research, knowledge exchange, capacity building and other activities that develop opportunities to link Japanese and global expertise with specific project-level engagements in developing countries to maximize development impact. The program is global in reach and thematically focused on urban planning, urban service provision, urban management, social development, disaster risk management, municipal finance. The mainstreaming of Quality Infrastructure Investment (QII) is an emergent area of focus for TDLC. Collaboration with other development agencies, think tanks and organizations will be explored, including:

Toyama City

Tokyo Metropolitan Government

Center for Livable Cities, Singapore

Rockefeller Foundation / 100 Resilient Cities

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

New York University

2. Knowledge exchange to foster operations:

Knowledge exchange and Just-In-Time-

Assistance and potential technical assistance for

clients and World Bank Task Teams

3. Structured Learning: Delivery of structured

learning for clients and partners such as e-

learning courses, and package of selected

Knowledge Exchange Instruments before during,

and after the TDD in Japan

4. Application to Knowledge Networks:

Contribution of relevant inputs to COP to

support development of their knowledge assets

such as case studies and best practice lessons

and to diffuse them to broader community

Objectives of this TDD

The aim of this TDD is to offer first-hand knowledge exchange opportunities for developing countries to deepen their knowledge in compact but livable cities.

To achieve this, the Compact but Livable Cities TDD has the following objectives: a) To disseminate cutting edge policy thinking and

technical knowledge delivered through intensive learning sessions

b) To set out the concept, framework and outcomes of compact cities and how they can be achieved.

c) To provide technical presentations and in-depth discussion on key compact city components by expert speakers.

d) To facilitate a series of client engagement and presentation sessions on challenges, innovations and policies, with peer to peer discussion.

e) To provide a practical insight into the Japanese context of compact urban form with site visit tours in both Tokyo and Toyama and participation in the RC 100 Summit.

City Profile - Tokyo

Introduction

The TDD will commence in Tokyo, Japan in order to provide a practical insight into the Japanese context of compact urban form with a range of presentations from expert speakers at the World Bank Tokyo offices, discussions of Tokyo as a compact city, and practical learning site visits in the city.

Tokyo City Profile

Located in the center of the Japanese archipelago and in the southern part of the Kanto region, Tokyo shares borders with Chiba Prefecture to the east, separated by the Edogawa River; Yamanashi to the west, by a mountain range; Kanagawa to the south, by the Tamagawa River; and Saitama to the north.

The Tokyo Megalopolis Region, or Greater Tokyo Area, is made up of Tokyo and the three neighboring prefectures of Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa. This area is home to around 35 million people which is approximately 30% of Japan’s total population.

Tokyo Metropolis is a metropolitan prefecture comprising administrative entities of special wards and municipalities. It consists of 23 wards, 26 cities, 5 townships and 8 villages, and its administration is governed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly as the decision-making body and Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) as the executive body. The population of Tokyo Metropolis is approximately 13.49 million (as of October 1, 2015).

Tokyo has one of the most efficient urban transport systems in the world. It combines an extensive overground railway network, underground subway lines, a comprehensive bus system, taxis, non-motorized transport facilities and car and bicycle rentals. The urban transport network is supported by a fully intergraded ticketing system using smart technology. More strategically, Tokyo is a transportation and logistics hub, with regional transportation infrastructure that includes a major international airport and port.

The city is also a key node on the shinkansen (bullet train) network. Of particular note, in March 2015 a new shinkansen service linking Tokyo with the Hokuriku region (including the City of Toyama) opened and in its first year has already carried 10 million passengers. The TDD participants will use this shinkansen service to travel from Tokyo to Toyama on the evening of Day 2.

Tokyo Site Visit - Toranomon

Toranomon is a business district located in the Minato Ward in central Tokyo. Toranomon provides the TDD delegates with a prominent case study of inner-city redevelopment in Tokyo.

On Day 1 of the TDD, a tour in Toranomon facilitated by World Bank TDLC, JICE, and Mori Building will be conducted. This will include technical and on site learning regarding urban planning in Tokyo, the development of Tokyo Loop Line 2 and the surrounding area’s development plan, the development of a new station in Toranomon and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) planning.

19

City Profile - Toyama Introduction On the evening of Day 2 the participants will move to Toyama for the remainder of the TDD week. The City of Toyama is recognized as a world leader in compact city development. The timing of the visit to Toyama is opportune, since the 100 Resilient Cities Summit will be taking place in Toyama with presentations and panel discussion sessions from global leaders in resilient and compact development.

Toyama as a Compact City

Toyama City in Toyama Prefecture is one of the largest cities in Japan and located in Japan's northern Hokuriku region. It total area is 1,241.85 km2 and has a population of around 420,000 (National Census 2010). The City has been facing a number of challenges such as decreasing population density in the urban area, high dependency on the private car, “hollowing out” of the central urban area, aging population, severe financial stresses, increasing administration costs, and increasing CO2 emissions. In turn, Toyama City developed a successful Compact City Strategy with a vision of “Creating a sustainable society with a harmonious balance between economic and social values and the environment.” In order to achieve the compact city vision, three core pillars of action were set out:

Pillar 1 centers on creating a compact city based on strong public transport provision and efficiency. This included revitalizing public transport through delivering a light-rail transit (LRT) system with low-floor cars and barrier-free station platforms, supplemented by other innovative schemes for smart ticketing including Senior Citizens’ Special Smart Ticketing Pass, as well as City Center Smart Ticket Bicycle Sharing System

During the TDD participants will undertake a site visit on compact city transportation systems and the LRT system in Toyama.

Pillar 2 set out to increase the quality and range of civic life amenities, in particular to improve quality of life for the elderly. Dovetailing with Pillar 1 measures including discounted fares for users of public transportation, and free admission to public facilities for elderly people when visiting with their grandchildren will hopefully encourage elderly people to go out more, and vitalize shopping areas in the city center.

Finally Pillar 3 centered on taking full advantage of the city’s strengths, including increasing the use of renewable energy and promoting local industries which included sectors such as geothermal, waste to energy (WtE), and micro hydroelectric power.

Compact City Champion: A key to Toyama’s success in developing a compact but livable city, was the flagship role the Mayor of Toyama, Mr. Masashi Mori, played in developing and delivering the compact city strategies and programs and championing the cause. Key Achievements

As a result of compact city efforts made so far, the percentage of residents living in the city center has increased from 28% in 2005 to 32% in 2013. Toyama City has set an aim of 42% by 2025.

Toyama City was awarded by being named in the Rockefeller Foundation Worlds 100 Resilient cities (see next section).

Toyama City was selected as the only Japanese city for the UN Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative.

More recently, Toyama City was selected as one of the strategic partner cities under TDLC’s City Partnership Program.

Event Profile – 100 Resilient Cities Summit

Introduction As noted, the timing of the visit to Toyama is opportune, since the 100 Resilient Cities Summit will be taking place in Toyama with presentations and panel discussion sessions from global leaders in resilient and compact development.

About the 100 Resilient Cities 100 Resilient Cities—Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation is dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century. In Japan, both Toyama and Kyoto have been included in the 100 selected cities. 100 Resilient Cities supports the adoption and incorporation of a view of resilience that includes not just the shocks—earthquakes, fires, floods, etc.—but also the stresses that weaken the fabric of a city on a day to day or cyclical basis. Examples of these stresses include high unemployment; an overtaxed or inefficient public transportation system; endemic violence; or chronic food and water shortages. By addressing both the shocks and the stresses, a city becomes more able to respond to adverse events, and is overall better able to deliver basic functions in both good times and bad, to all populations.

The 100 Resilient Cities Summit, Toyama The 100 Resilient Cities (RC 100) summit is being held in Toyama, Japan between November 1-4, 2016. The TDD participants will attend key sessions of the summit. The event will offer the TDD participants an excellent opportunity for further knowledge exchange with presentations from global leaders in resilient and compact development; as well as a better understanding of the Toyama City case study and international best practice, as well as attending technical panel discussions in compact city themes and also networking opportunities with a range of delegates from across the world. The main features of the event to be attended by the TDD participants include:

Keynote speeches including from Mayor Mori and Dr. Joseph Runzo-Inada (Toyama City), and Michael Berkowitz (President of RC 100) amongst others.

Panel discussion sessions on topics including: - Productive, inclusive, livable and safe cities are also more resilient. - Urban Sprawl and Public Transportation - Case Studies of Resilient Japanese Cities

A site visit on compact city transportation system/LRT system in Toyama City.

Networking events.
