the Kannai /Isezakicho District

Central district in 1965

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 the various functionsof oﬃces, cultural facilities and commercial establishments in theseareas. This creates jobs and bustling recreational areas for citizens,invigorates the local economy and establishes an economic
infrastructure that enhances Yokohama's self-suﬃciency.

Integrated city center

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 centerfor cross-cultural exchange. A lively, appealing, cosmopolitan city intune 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 streamof economic and cultural information. It is attracting a cluster ofhigh-tech, knowledge-intensive, global enterprises' executive HQ andR&D operations, as well as divisions of many government agencies.

3. An Inviting City Oﬀering Ample Waterfront,

Area

The Yokohama City Center Redevelopment project aims torealize the integration and redevelopment of the Kannai /Isezakicho District, which was the original city center after the
opening of the Yokohama Port, and the districts aroundYokohama Station, where urbanization advanced rapidly
during and after the era of rapid economic growth.
Sandwiched between these two urban centers, the waterfront
area was home to thriving piers and shipyards during theperiod of rapid economic growth, however, now that thesefunctions have either become obsolete or been relocated, it isintended to consolidate business and other urban functions
into the abandoned sites and integrate and strengthen thetwo city centers.

metropolitan area such as the re-expanded, internationalized Haneda
extensive market of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Yokohama City Center Redevelopment Project"The Minato Mirai 21 Project" is a project to create a new city
center along the waterfront of Yokohama. When the project wasﬁrst proposed in 1965, during the period of rapid economic
growth, Yokohama was experiencing growing pains from rapid
residential development and population growth as a suburb of
the expanding capital city of Tokyo. The downtown area of
Yokohama was largely destroyed during WWII, and its
subsequent requisitioning by the occupying American forces
precluded the chance for any systematic rebuilding. As a result,trading companies and other businesses moved their operations
to Tokyo. At the same time, the area around Yokohama Station
began to ﬂourish as a connection point for rail lines leading tosuburban areas, creating a vigorously developing area separate
from the old downtown districts of Kannai / Isezakicho.
Yokohama thus failed to join in on the post-war recovery boom
and had little choice but to become a commuter center forTokyo. With a view to breaking this trend and creating a uniqueand independent city, the City of Yokohama proposed six majorinterlocking, strategic projects in 1965.

Project objectives and ideal city image

CONTENTS

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.

Ground Improvement and Liquefaction Prevention

Earthquake-Resistant Quays ❶In reclaiming land and preparing ground for urban infrastructure comprising roads and residential
districts in the central area of Minato Mirai 21, various ground improvement measures are
implemented in consideration of earthquakes, ground subsidence and the like. Sediment ofvarying particle sizes oﬀering greater resistance to liquefaction is used for reclamation work, while
the ground improvement measures indicated below are also adopted:

Earthquake-resistant quays are facilities that can receive ships carrying goods foreveryday life or passenger ships at normal times. During times of emergency, such as
after an earthquake, they can also act as transportation for emergency supplies.

Clay Layer

Utility Tunnel

Sand Drain Method

Cement Deep
Mixing Method

Base Layer● Cement Deep Mixing Method for Improving Ground under Roads

This method entails strengthening ground by mixing cement and other reinforcing materials into soft ground.

Utility tunnels in the ground under the main traﬃc arteries are used to facilitate Minato Mirai 21's vital shared urban utility services. Situating thesefacilities under the roads eﬀectively utilizes underground space, improves disaster-resistance and enhances the appearance of the city. Thesefacilities were progressively installed from 1983 in the Central District as part of the Minato Mirai 21 development, and completed in 2004. Utility
tunnels for electric power cables are currently being installed in the Shinko District.
Status The main common utility tunnel runs for approximately 7.0km under Minato Mirai-odori Boulevard, Kokusai-odori
Boulevard, Icho-dori Avenue, Keyaki-dori Avenue, Sakura-dori Avenue and Sakuragi-Higashi Totsuka Route.
Facilities Water pipes, communication lines, power lines, gas pipes, district heating and cooling ducts, etc.

District Heating & Cooling System
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, 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.

Basic Agreement on Town Development
In 1988, the Basic Agreement on Town Development under Minato Mirai 21 wassigned between Central District landowners and other parties. The aim was forlandowners to take the initiative in formulating rules for urban development, andthen to share this basic philosophy in order to achieve balanced development.
The agreement covers themes for urban development, vision for land use, andthe following matters:

Common spaces are provided in allparts in order to create a bustling andabundant urban area. These common
spaces are the intermediate areas thatconnect public spaces and buildings andare freely accessible to people. Suchspaces are created in various ways ineach facility by means of walk-throughcorridors, inner courtyards, open ceilingspaces and so on.

■ Land Use Vision● Water and greenery● Skyline, streetscapes and vistas● Shared space

In order to enhance local vitality inthe area, all buildings have activity
ﬂoors on lower levels. Occupied byshops, showrooms, service facilities
and other spaces that people arefree to use, these activity ﬂoors
serve to create a human-scale
townscape while maintaining thecontinuity of the local vibrantatmosphere.

Pedestrian ways connecting blocks have been established to create a network ofpedestrian spaces in the city center. The network is built around three main
axes: the Queen Axis, which links Landmark Tower Yokohama to PaciﬁcoYokohama via the inner mall; King Axis, which links Yokohama Station to Rinko
Park; and the intersecting Grand Mall Axis, which acts as a link between these
two routes.

Skyline
The Central District of Minato Mirai 21 features a highly attractive urban
skyline. In line with the urban framework, super-high-rise buildings arearranged in such a way that they form landmarks, and as an overall trend,
the buildings gradually become lower moving from inland towards thewaterfront. Moreover, scenic views looking towards the ocean are arranged
from the main vista points and buildings are constructed in such a mannerthat one can sense the presence of the ocean and port from even inlandparts of the city.

Redevelopment that Respects History and Scenery

Initiatives for Infrastructure Development

The Shinko District connects Minato Mirai 21's Central District with the Kannai-Yamashita District, whose history stretches backto 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 thislegacy. 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.

Land Reclamation

Land Readjustment

The land reclamation work started in December 1983, andwas largely completed by March 1998 with the successful
reclamation of the Shinko area.

A land readjustment program was the basis for developing
the Minato Mirai 21 Central District. Re-plotting was
implemented in June 2006, and the readjustment program
was completed by March 2011.

Central District Plan

The objective of Minato Mirai 21 is to create a busy,
attractive area that also oﬀers employment to local citizens.
Under the City Planning Law, the entire area is designated acommercial area.

To provide a ﬁrm legal status for the self-administered rules
and regulations 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 11th revision to the Plan was made in
December 2019. It provides detailed guidelines for building
construction, parks and other facilities, to ensure they
match the distinctive character of the district.

RedCreation of bustling and lively urban spaces <Shinko District>

The Shinko District has many distinctive features, from its numerous preserved
historical landmarks to its island geography. Therefore, in contrast with theintensive land use and futuristic concept seen in the Central District, the Shinko
District is pursuing a more relaxed streetscape that evokes the port and its
history with the following themes:❶Design streets and buildings to evoke a sense of continuity, open to the sea.

such facilities registered in the district.（April 2022）
Minato Mirai 21
Assistance Guide：
How to Get Home in the Event of a DisasterA guide has been created in four
languages that explains the sequenceof events from the occurrence of anearthquake to getting back home(and including a map of temporary
stay facilities for people unable toreturn home), with the intention of
keeping visitors and people working
in Minato Mirai 21 from panicking in
the case of an emergency.
