Kannai and Kangai Areas

• About Kannai-Kangai-District Revitalization Vision

Kannai Kangai-District is a district that has unique charms such as its history, culture, and unique shopping streets since its opening of the port. In order to enhance the characteristics of each district, the District Planning Council and the Community Development Rules are in operation.
In addition, in order to accumulate urban functions and create a lively atmosphere, Kannai-District has designated a “special use district” as a “special use district” and has established a “landscape plan” based on the Landscape Act and a “cityscape consultation district” based on the Landscape Ordinance in order to create a high-quality landscape.
In addition, we are promoting the development of new industries through active guidance of cultural and artistic activities and community development through collaboration with citizens.
However, in recent years, the number of employees has decreased by about 35,000 (H8 → H18) and the value of product sales has been reduced by about half (H9 → H19), and the decline in commercial and business functions has not stopped. Revitalization is a major issue.
Therefore, in March 2010, the Kannai-Kangai-District Revitalization Promotion Plan, which defines the future image of the town to be pursued and strategies for revitalization, was formulated in March 2011, focusing on specific initiatives led by the local community.
In addition to the traditional efforts of community development organizations, initiatives in which multiple community development organizations cooperate, such as the promotion of the Y151-200 opening commemorative event, have also begun.

As part of our efforts to prioritize the revitalization of the Kannai and Kangai-District, we are working to strengthen the junctions around Kannai-sta.-kitaguchi and improve the pedestrian environment.
