Creating rules for community-based towns and the rules of main towns

The basic parts of the town, such as land use and regulations on buildings, are uniformly determined by laws and regulations from a wide-area perspective. Furthermore, in order to create a better town, it is effective to follow uniform rules, but to make efforts such as "town rules" and "town development" according to local characteristics.
The "Naka Ward Town Rule Creation Consultation Corner" provides consultation and support for inhabitants of the ward who think about town rules and town development.
