| description |
The cities of Japan are an exceptional
source of learning on competitiveness of cities. They have
recovered from disaster, dealt with population influx,
industrialized at a rapid pace, responded to environmental
challenge, reached the technological frontier, undergone a
housing bubble and its collapse, and reconstruction followed
by the natural disasters. Today, they face threats of
demographic and technological change that are far from
unique to the developed world. The Kobe Case highlights
important lessons both on reconstruction of the city after a
devastating earthquake devising ambitious new designs for
devastated areas and building a life sciences cluster in
modern era. This research was prepared by the Tokyo
Development Learning Center (TDLC) under the auspices of the
Social, Urban, Rural, and Resilience Global of the World
Bank Group. Its objective is to create a knowledge base on
what makes cities competitive, understand job creation at
the city level, and capture the unique development
experience of Japan for broad dissemination to development
practitioners, government officials, academia and the
private sector. The team would like to gratefully
acknowledge the Government of Japan and its continued
support of the Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) program. |
