| Summary: | Toyama City, one of the World Bank TDLC
City Partnership Program cities, has become synonymous with
the idea of a compact and livable city in Japan. It is a
pleasant regional city with a population of about 420,000,
situated in a dramatic landscape between the steep Tateyama
mountain range on the east and deep Toyama Bay on the north
side. The city has been consistently ranked among the best
cities to live within the Hokuriku region. This report
illustrates the compact city development in the city, along
with series of cross-sectoral case studies on disaster risk
management, waste management, inclusive community
engagement, and a comprehensive resilient city approach. |
