Chiba Prefecture Makuhari Seaside Park has a planned land area of 71.9 hectares, about four times the size of Hibiya Park in Tokyo. The New City features advanced systems such as skyways, localized heating and cooling, air-powered waste conveyance, and underground cables. Walkways are separate from roads.
Pedestrians move in safety along skyways set above roads for vehicular traffic.
Heat emitted from processed sewerage water is used for heating and cooling, using one method whereby cool and warm water is passed through pipes and another whereby steam is used as a heat source. This enables a power saving and an attendant cost saving. Processed sewerage water undergoes high-grade processing at the Hanamigawa terminal Processing Station before being recycled for use in toilets, park sprinklers, etc.
