Yokohama - A City in the Vanguard of Every Era
Yokohama is Japan's leading international port city. Today, as Yokohama strives to become an even more exciting,independent and cosmopolitan city, it continues to make the most of its over 150-year heritage and a favorable natural
setting of hills, rivers and bay.

Yokohama: Leading Japan into the Future

Land UsageEver since it opened in 1859, the port of Yokohama has been thesetting for personal, cultural and commercial exchange on aninternational scale. Japan's modernization began right here andYokohama embraced that challenge in a spirit of openness andenterprise, growing into a major city with a positive, international

One of Japan's top international trading ports, Yokohama is served
by a comprehensive transportation network including rapid links to
Haneda Airport, which continues to expand and add international
ﬂights. The city also boasts quiet residential areas, highly-skilledworkers and easy access to the huge markets of the metropolitan
area. Not only a perfect base for business, Yokohama is a vibrant,
entertaining city that is extremely popular with both domestic andoverseas tourists, and a favored site for conventions ‒ in 2010 thecity hosted the APEC summit, for example.

The Minato Mirai 21 ProjectPrimary Objectives
1. A More Independent Yokohama
Prior to the Minato Mirai 21 project, Yokohama's city center was divided into two areas: the Kannai/Isezakicho District and the
Yokohama Station Area District. Minato Mirai 21 District consolidates and integrates the two areas and concentrates companies,
shopping centers and cultural facilities in these areas. This creates jobs and bustling recreational areas for citizens, invigorates
the local economy and establishes an economic infrastructure that enhances Yokohama's self-suﬃciency.

2. A Transformed Role for the Port
The introduction of wide expanses of parkland and green space, such as Rinko Park and Nippon-maru Memorial Park, iscreating a waterfront environment where people can relax and enjoy themselves. The port also houses a variety of international
conference facilities and central port administration services.

3. A Decentralized Capital Region
The Minato Mirai 21 project is designed to facilitate decentralization of the oﬃcial, commercial and international conferencefunctions formerly concentrated in Tokyo and to promote more balanced metropolitan development.

Urban Vision
1. A Round-the-Clock Cosmopolitan Cultural City
PACIFICO Yokohama (Paciﬁc Convention Plaza Yokohama) integrates oﬃce, cultural and commercial facilities in proximity tourban housing, enabling the area's extensive convention facilities to serve as a center for cross-cultural exchange. A lively,
appealing, cosmopolitan city in tune with trends from across the globe is emerging.

2. A 21st Century Information City
Minato Mirai 21 is an information city, buzzing with a constant stream of economic and cultural information. It is attracting acluster of high-tech, knowledge-intensive, global enterprises' executive HQ and R&D operations, as well as divisions of many
government agencies.

3. An Inviting City Oﬀering Ample Waterfront, Green Space and Heritage
Harmony between people and nature is emphasized, highlighting the waterfront's charm and treasuring green spaces.
Preserving the Aka-Renga Soko (red brick warehouses) and stone docks evoking Yokohama's historical heritage, Minato Mirai
21 forms a spacious city environment framed by the sea and attractive greenery, and steeped in historical ambience.

Direction for Minato Mirai 21 (National New Growth Strategy)
Minato Mirai 21 is the only area in Japan to be designated under three separate provisions of the National New Growth Strategy ‒ as a Future
City, a Comprehensive Special Zone for International Competitiveness Development, and a Designated Urban Renaissance Urgent Redevelopment
Area. The area plans to take full advantage of the beneﬁts deriving from these designations in order to enhance its international competitiveness.

Future City
Submission and implementation of Future City policies responding to environmental issues, aging of society, etc.
The Future City concept describes an advanced model city designed to provide a successful example of a response to environmental issues,an aging society, etc. Since the very beginning of development, Minato Mirai 21 has aimed to become a world-renowned urban environment
with energy-saving systematic infrastructure facilities, an environmentally-friendly transportation network, and an urban landscape making fulluse of its waterfront and greenery advantages.
We will continue to develop, publicize and enhance the attractiveness of the area, implementing initiatives such as the Yokohama Smart City
Project to create an active, constantly growing urban space.

Keihin Coastal Area Life Innovation Comprehensive Special Zone for International Competitiveness Development
Contribute to life innovation by holding conventions in medical care, biotechnology, etc. and attracting related businesses
Minato Mirai 21, together with the Suehiro and Fukuura areas of Yokohama City and the Tonomachi area of Kawasaki City, has been designateda Comprehensive Special Zone for International Competitiveness Development with the aim of creating an integrated industrial and functional
hub that will become an engine of economic growth for Japan.
Minato Mirai 21 has become a center of information transmission via the medical science and bio-technology related exhibitions held at
Paciﬁco Yokohama. For the future, we will continue to contribute to growth in medical and health care related ﬁelds by promoting medical
science and similar conferences, and attracting related enterprises to locate here.

Designated Urban Renaissance Urgent Redevelopment Area
Promote urban development businesses contributing to strengthening international competitiveness, anddevelop an infrastructure aimed at improving internal circulation and internal/external access for the district.
The center and bay front areas of Yokohama (approx. 233 hectares) including Minato Mirai 21 (Central District and Yokohama Station East
District) have been given the status of a Designated Urban Renaissance Urgent Redevelopment Area to focus urban development eﬀorts herewith the aim of strengthening the area's international competitiveness.
The objectives are to achieve a role for the area in driving national economic growth, and by promoting development and area management tocreate an Asian hub generating new business opportunities.

4Planning Principles and Urban Development Approach
The Minato Mirai 21 project has been strategically designed to oﬀer an aesthetically superb cityscape with broad public appeal. Building on the advantages of awaterfront location and the distinctive character of the Central and Shinko Districts, city planning concepts and approaches have been chosen to create
desirable urban spaces where citizens can work comfortably, relax and have fun through leisure activities and shopping, and enjoy a secure, prosperous lifestyle.

Central District

Basic Agreement on Town Development

Central District Plan

http://www.minatomirai21.com/development/agreement.php

http://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/toshi/tikukeikaku/c-010.html

In 1988, the Basic Agreement on Town Development under Minato
Mirai 21 was signed between Central District landowners and otherparties. The aim was for landowners to take the initiative informulating rules for urban development, and then to share this basic
philosophy in order to achieve balanced development. The
agreement covers themes for urban development, vision for landuse, and the following matters:● Water and greenery● Skyline, streetscapes and vistas● Shared space (active placement of public art, etc.)● Activity ﬂoors● Color schemes and outdoor advertising● Car and bicycle parks
With regard to buildings, it sets standards for minimum site scale,height, pedestrian networks and setback of exterior walls. In
addition, it stipulates the urban management systems needed foradvanced information services, disaster prevention, environmental
support, and for smooth integration with adjoining urban districts.

To provide a ﬁrm legal status for the self-administered rules andregulations speciﬁed in the Basic Agreement on Town Development,
the district plan stipulated in the Minato Mirai 21 Central District
Plan was oﬃcially established in October 1989. This ninth revision
to the Plan was made in July, 2012. It provides detailed guidelines
for building construction, parks and other facilities, to ensure they
match the distinctive character of the district.

Shinko District■ Land Use Plan

Redevelopment that Respects History and Scenery
The Shinko District connects Minato Mirai 21's Central District with the Kannai-Yamashita
District, whose history stretches back to the earliest days of Yokohama's port. The Shinko
District was ﬁrst developed in the early 20th century to house Japan's ﬁrst modern port.
Landmark structures like the Aka-Renga Soko (red brick warehouses) and stone pavements
still attest to this legacy. While carefully preserving its historical monuments and port scenery,
the Shinko District is being upgraded with facilities to support its port-related businesses andopen spaces to make the most of the tranquil waterfront setting.

Shinko's Unique Heritage
The Shinko District has many distinctive features, from its numerous preserved historicallandmarks to its island geography. Therefore, in contrast with the intensive land use and futuristic
concept seen in the Central District, the Shinko District is pursuing a more relaxed streetscapethat evokes the port and its history with the following themes:

District Heating & Cooling System
Ensuring greater energy eﬃciency
Making urban life even more convenient and secure, Minato Mirai 21 has adopted a districtwide cooling and heating system that centralizes the production, supply and control ofprocessed air. This is more energy eﬃcient and minimizes pollution and the possibility ofaccidents. The central plant features an STL heat exchange and storage system that draws
its power in the middle of the night, when electricity is cheap. A second plant uses a largescale, high-eﬃciency turbo refrigeration unit to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. As
the area served expands, more eco-friendly, higher eﬃciency heating equipment is being
installed.
