Minato Mirai 21 Project Objectives and Ideal City Image

Minato Mirai 21 Master Plan

Primary 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, is creating awaterfront 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 conference functions
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 to urban
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 a cluster ofhigh-tech, knowledge-intensive, global enterprises' executive HQ and R&D operations, as well as divisions of many government agencies.

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

The master plan represents the basic image and does not accurately reﬂect the “District Plan”and“Basic Agreement on Town Development”

Submission and implementation of FutureCity policies responding to environmental issues, aging of society, etc.
The FutureCity 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 systematic energy-saving infrastructure facilities, an environmentally-friendly transportation network, and an urban
landscape making full use 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 and Minato Mirai 2050 Project to create an active, constantly growing urban space.

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 and the Tonomachi area of Kawasaki has been designated aComprehensive Special Zone for International Competitiveness Development with the aim of creating an integrated industrial andfunctional 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, and develop 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 here with the aim of strengthening the area's international competitiveness.
In order for the area to drive national economic growth, the objective is to create an Asian hub generating new business opportunities bypromoting development and area management.

Planning Principles and Urban Development Approach

Central District
Basic Agreement on Town Development
http://www.minatomirai21.com/city-info/development/rule/agreement.html

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 thisbasic 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
for advanced 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, parksand other facilities, to ensure they match the distinctive
character of the district.

Land Use Vision

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 and open spaces to make the most of the tranquil waterfront setting.

The Shinko District has many distinctive features, from its numerous preserved
historical landmarks to its island geography. Therefore, in contrast with the intensive
land use and futuristic concept seen in the Central District, the Shinko District ispursuing a more relaxed streetscape that evokes the port and its history with thefollowing themes:
1 Port Scenes and Historical Heritage
The historical legacy of a pioneering modern port combined with the unique feel of
an island.
2 Linking Up the Good LifeThe fresh, new Minato Mirai 21 Central District connected with the historicalKannai-Yamashita District.

Most of Minato Mirai 21's infrastructure is the result of land reclamation, land readjustment and port facility improvement
projects. These have provided disaster-proof infrastructure such as utility tunnels and an earthquake-resistant berth.
In addition, various cutting-edge shared utility systems help support the functioning of this 21st-century city.

are used to facilitate Minato Mirai 21's vital shared urban
utility services.
Situating these facilities under the roads eﬀectively

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 of processed air.
This is more energy eﬃcient and minimizes pollution and the possibility of accidents. 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, higheﬃciency
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.
