A Wisdom-Creating City
That Pioneers the Future
Outline of the City
The Keihanna Science City (officially known as the Kansai Science City) is nestled in the green Keihanna hills stretching over Kyoto,
Osaka, and Nara prefectures in western Japan. The city, which has been constructed and maintained under the Kansai Science City
Construction Act, is one of Japanʼs national projects – much like the Tsukuba Science City in the east of Japan. Twelve cultural andscientific research districts (about 3,600 ha) scatter the 15,000 ha of land that makes up the Keihanna Science City. The city is about 30 km
from the center of both Kyoto and Osaka cities, and about 10 km from the center of Nara City. More than 150 research facilities, including
universities and cultural facilities with a total workforce (researchers and other staff) close to 10,000 has accomplished remarkablesuccesses in the fields of cultural and scientific research.

Significance and Philosophyof the Cityʼs Construction
1.Creating a base for new developments in culture, science and research
2.Contributing to the development of culture, science and research in Japanand across the world, as well as to the development of the national economy
3.Foundation of a wisdom-creating city that pioneers the future

Organizational Structure for
Promoting Urban Development

Universities andacademic experts

To undergo the development of the Keihanna Science City
successfully, the effective collaboration between the citizens
and private sectors in the academic, industrial, andadministrative fields is essential. This project uses private
sector vitality as much as possible by assigning each sectorroles and functions that make the best use of their strengths.
■ The Cluster-type Development /In order to promote the balance of environmentally friendly
development among the existing cities and towns, as well as theforestry, agricultural fields, and the natural environment, theKeihanna Science City employed a cluster-type development
plan in which 12 cultural and scientific research districts arescattered – much like a cluster of grapes. The city also attempts
to unify the entire city by assigning each district urban functions
that take advantage of their strengths.
To prevent wasteful investments and unexpected major changes indevelopment plans, we begin working on each district only when
they fulfill all necessary conditions for development. This enables
us to carry out the development in phases exactly as planned.
■ Development with a Fusion between Housing and the
Cultural and Scientific Facilities /The Keihanna Science City construction involves thedevelopment of the cultural and scientific facilities along withthe residential areas. We aim to construct a fascinating city witha remarkable fusion of academic space and living environment
by taking advantage of the convenience of a large city withmany residents. In such a city, the collaborative research
between institutions and citizens are made possible by asking
citizens to participate in scientific studies and demonstrations.

Keihanna Science City

Pref.

■ The Active Involvement of the Private Sector /The construction of the Keihanna Science City was proposed by
the Kansai Science City Surveillance Conversazione (Chairman:
Azuma Okuda, former Head of Kyoto University) in 1978. The idea
was finalized when the Kansai Science City Construction
Promotion Conference was established in 1983 , by Kyoto,
Osaka, and Nara prefectures and economic organizations in the
Kansai region. Following the enactment of the Kansai Science City
Construction Act in 1987, full-scale construction began as anational project for Japan. More than 30 years have passed since
the law came into effect, and about 60 percent of the cultural andscientific research districts are now ready for use. We are currently
in the process of moving onto the next step of construction tocreate a research city with top-level management systems –applying the knowledge and experience we have gathered over thecourse of our accomplishments with this project.

History of City Construction

Pref.

Outline of the City

As various issues surrounding global human survival begin toarise in this present day in age, we need to pursue even further
cultural and scientific studies concentrating on how to makesustainable societies a reality. The Keihanna Science City wasconstructed as a research space that focuses on subjects suchas global environmental studies; cultural and scientific studies
by combining the natural, cultural and social sciences; andvarious other studies that always keep ahead of the times.

Keihanna Science Cityʼs Logo
Keihanna refers to the Kansai Science City. The logo of thecity depicts a flying angel known as Hiten, who scattersflower petals, plays music and burns sweet incense while
flying in the sky. The gentle curves in the logo represent theslopes of the Keihanna hills, and the three patterns symbolize
time accumulated throughout the past, present, and future.
The three patterns also represent the cooperation between
Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, or the collaboration between industry,
academia, and government.

Global Research Complex project for creation of Meta-Comfort
smart society via i-Brain×ICT Currently people prefer spiritualrichness to having lots of things

Citizen-Researcher Interactionin Keihanna Science CityAt the Keihanna Research Complex we have taken our abundance of i-Brain (brain and human science technologies)
research results and advanced ICT (Information Communications Technologies) to promote progress in tackling areas
in brain science in which AI is not yet fully understood or utilized. Simultaneously, we focus on social affluence, which
grows through peace, vitality, and sympathy, and enact new "meta-comfort" technologies and services, and create thenext generation smart city under certain social systems where such innovations are promoted in sustainable manners(calling it as innovation eco-system ).
This program has been adopted as one of the nationwide programs in three regions in Japan, "The World-class R&D
and Verification Experiments (Research Complex) Promotion Program implemented by the Japan Science andTechnology Agency (JST). With its vision to realize the concept of an ideal community and social values in 5 and 10
years shared by the members of industry, academia, government, and financial institutions, this program wasdeveloped to grow and extend the research complex as the foundation for the promotion of innovation to deploy
cutting-edge research and development, commercialization of achievements, and human resource development in an
integrated and unified manner.

○Lectures open to the public in cooperation with universities
Collaborating with universities in this city, we hold lectures open to the public under the keyword ofknowledge transmission from Keihanna . Specialized lecturers in these universities explain

Following the successful development of powerful lasers such as J-KAREN, an ultra-short pulse laser of the world's top class, we work on academic, medical,
and industrial applications for high powered lasers, including development of a compact accelerator for use in particle beam cancer therapy, practical use of
remote and non-contact methods to detect defects in concrete using lasers, and a palm-sized non-invasive blood glucose level sensor and more.

A variety of facilities are available for librarypatrons, including seminar rooms for those
who wish hold discussion using librarymaterials and private rooms for those whowish to concentrate quietly on their research.

Based on the hypothesis thatmental disorders are abnormalities
in brain dynamics, we work toquantify brain dynamics using
brain function binding patterns(bond NF) or multi-voxel patterns(DecNef) as biomarkers anddecoders. From this we work to
use reinforcement (neuro operant
conditioning) to guide the disorder
dynamics to healthy dynamics.

RIKEN Research in Keihanna Science City

Facilities & Organizations

RIKEN, a national research and development institute, is Japan s flagship research institute in
the natural sciences. It is committed to helping maintain Japan s industrial development inresponse to social and national needs. As one of the pillars of the RIKEN Initiative for ScientificExcellence, our presence in Keihanna Science City is part of a wider effort to strengthen ourability to achieve world-class research outcomes. Here, RIKEN research teams havecollaborated with other research institutions to develop bases for research activities. Thesebases function as science and technology hubs that produce innovation through collaborations
with academia and industry, pushing research forward toward excellent results.
