City's Overview

Keihanna Science City is a science city being constructed and developed in the green hills of Keihanna, which
extends over the three prefectures of Kyoto, Osaka and Nara, based on the Kansai Science City Construction

Promotion Act. It is located within 30 km from the city centers of Kyoto and Osaka, and 10 km from the centerof Nara City.

Together with "Tsukuba Science City" to the east, it is positioned as a national project with a total area ofapproximately 15,000 hectares, in which 12 cultural and academic research districts (about 3,600 hectares)
are distributed.

Signiﬁcance and Philosophy
Creating a base for the new developments in culture, science, and researchContributing to the development of culture, science, and research in Japan and around the world, as well as to thedevelopment of the national economy
Foundation of a wisdom-creating city that pioneers the future*From the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's basic policy on the construction of Kansai Science City

FeaturesUtilization of Private Sector Vitality
In the city construction, we will make maximum use of the vitality of the private sector, based on cooperation among various
ﬁelds such academia, industry, government, and residents. We will advance city development with appropriate cooperation androle-sharing among various ﬁelds.

Cluster Type Development
The 12 cultural and academic research districts will be distributed like a cluster of grapes, and development will be promoted incongruence with the conservation of the natural environment, pre-existing urban areas, and agriculture and forestry. Additionally,urban functions will be shared in accordance with the characteristics of each district to harmonize the city as a whole. By
proceeding with development sequentially, commencing with areas where the conditions for urban development are in place, we
can avoid excessive prior investments and major changes in plans, and development can be carried out systematically in stages.

Composite Development of Research Facilities and Residencies
The development will include not only cultural and academic research facilities but also residential areas, aiming to create acomplex city that combines academia and (lifestyle) culture. It will be possible to create a lively and attractive urban environmentthat is rooted in the lives of the residents, as well as to conduct speciﬁed demonstration experiments and evaluations with their
participation.

Establishment of a Global Open Innovation Hub
Japan's economic power is relatively declining in the international community due to intensifying global competition. To breakthrough the current situation, we will build a system based on open innovation to quickly and reliably connect research anddevelopment investments to industrialization and increase GDP.

Keihanna Science City

Growthof the CityIn 1978, the "Kansai Science City Research Council (commonly known as Okudakon)" was the starting point for the"proposal and conceptualization phase" of the project, and after its concretization of conception, in 1987, the Kansai

Science City Construction Promotion Act was promulgated and enforced. Since then, the city has passed through threestages as a national project: the stage of concept realization, city construction, and advanced city management
together with city construction.

Keihanna Science City is now in the latter half of the fourth stage which is the "creation of a new city", and is evolving
and developing.

For the Realization of Next-Generation Smart Cities
Efforts to advance the research and development of products and systems necessary for the formation of next-generation
smart cities and their social implementations are being promoted through various projects.
In the "Smart Keihanna Project", which was adopted as a model project by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport andTourism, efforts are being made in the Seika and Nishikizu districts to introduce last one mile mobility and AI-based life support
services. In the Tawara district, smart city initiatives are also being developed through cooperation with public and private
sectors using transportation, coexistence with nature, energy conservation, safety and security, and resource circulation as
keywords.
The content and results of these efforts are being widely disseminated both domestically and internationally through various
ways such as the Kyoto Smart City Expo.

Keihanna Science City, which extends over the three prefecturesof Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, is rich in greenery, and while parks andgreen spaces have been systematically laid out, there is also an“SATOYAMA” landscape environment that is being actively
preserved and utilized by residents.
In the Kizu-kita district (Kaseyama), where urban development has
been halted, “SATOYAMA” activities are being carried out incooperation with the government, citizens, and businesses basedon the "Biodiversity Kizugawa City Community Collaborative
Conservation Action Plan". In the Hoshida Park and the Muroike
Park, which were developed by the Osaka Prefectural Government
with the aim of achieving "coexistence between people andnature", trails and suspension bridges have been built around thewaterfront so that people can get close to the rich nature andenjoy observing plants and wild birds. Keihanna is also a treasuryof Japan's representative historical and cultural heritages, and inparticular, the Heijo Palace Site is positioned as one of the clusters
in the cultural and academic research area, and restoration of the
Daigokuden and Suzakumon Gate is underway, reminding us of

Keihanna Science Cityʼs Logo

“Keihanna” refers to the Kansai Science City. The logoof the city depicts a ﬂying angel known as “Hiten”,
who scatters ﬂower petals, plays music and burns
sweet incense while ﬂying in the sky. The gentle
curves in the logo represent the slopes of the
Keihanna hills, and the three patterns symbolize“time” accumulated throughout the past, present, andfuture. The three patterns also represent thecooperation between Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, or thecollaboration between industry, academia, andgovernment.
