Saitama City
Message from the Mayor of Saitama City
Hayato Shimizu
As a metropolis with a population of over 1.3 million, Saitama City has been working towards the realization of an ‘all-Saitama’ decarbonized society in cooperation with citizens and businesses.
Cooperation with national and international cities and relevant institutions is also crucial to solving global problems such as climate change.
Saitama City has been working with ICLEI to share and disseminate advanced case studies and the importance of the role of local governments with participating cities at the Saitama Sustainable City Summit in 2022 and the E-KIZUNA High-Level Talks at COP29 in 2024.
We will continue to work with ICLEI and other cities to solve problems together.
Overview of Saitama City
Saitama City is located 30km north of central Tokyo, and it is a hub for exchanges of ‘People, Goods and Information’ as a core city in eastern Japan. It is connected to six Shinkansen lines, JR lines, and a private railway. The area around Omiya Station is included in the Metropolitan Area Regional Plan of Japan.
In addition to historical and cultural resources, such as Bonsai and railroads in Omiya, Iwatsuki Ningyo (Japanese Dolls), and eels in Urawa, Saitama City has a large green space (about 1,260 hectares) called ‘Minuma Tambo’. It is also a city with a thriving sports scene, with facilities such as Saitama Stadium 2○○2, the largest soccer stadium in Japan, and the Saitama Super Arena.
Environmental Initiatives
Saitama City has been taking various initiatives towards the realization of a decarbonized society, including declaring itself a 2050 Zero Carbon City in 2020 and being selected by the national government as a Decarbonization Leading Areas in 2022.
In 2024, the city is working on ‘all-Saitama’ decarbonization, including the establishment of the Saitama City Zero Carbon City Co-Creation Promotion Platform, which aims to decarbonize the area through collaboration between citizens, businesses, and local government.

HARNESS the power of the ICLEI Network!" Governments need to give (the sense of) direction, as Business leaders we don't make the wind, we sail the boats. So policy should set the winds in the right directions if you want the boat going fast to the right harbor."Philippe Joubert Senior Advisor, World Business Council
