Toyama City
Message from the Mayor of Toyama City
Hirohisa Fujii
Toyama City, with its declining population, low birthrate, and ageing population, has been promoting initiatives such as Environmental Model City and Environmental Future City based on the compact city planning principles focused on public transportation.
In 2018, the city was selected as one of the SDGs Future Cities, and in March 2021, with an eye on the next stage of compact cities, the city announced its intention to become a Zero Carbon City. This will deepen sustainable urban development by further strengthening environmental policies, such as promoting more efficient energy use in public facilities and encouraging the introduction of renewable energy.
Toyama City will continue to work with ICLEI members in Japan and abroad to realize a sustainable society.
Overview of Tokorozawa City
Toyama City occupies almost the entire central to southeastern part of Toyama Prefecture, with Toyama Bay, which nurtures abundant seafood, to the north, the majestic Tateyama Mountain Range to the east, a series of hills and mountain villages to the west, and rich rural landscapes and forests to the south. Large and small rivers, such as the Jinzu River and the Joganji River, flow through the city, forming a cultural zone that has been linked by rivers since ancient times. From Toyama Bay, blessed with seafood, to the 3,000-meter mountains that fascinate mountaineers, the natural landscape of the city is one of the best in the world.
Toyama City is famous nationwide as the ‘City of Medicine,’ and is working to develop a city with a high level of comprehensive capabilities, including the Tateyama Mountain Range, the Etchu Owara Kaze no Bon Festival, and other tourism resources, as well as the development of environmental, biotechnology, and IT-related industries, welfare, and education. As a prefectural capital with a population of 420,000, the city is striving to be an attractive city.
Environmental Initiatives
In March 2021, Toyama City formulated the “Toyama City Energy Vision” against the backdrop of the government’s efforts to address rapid climate change and the city’s past environmental initiatives. The vision calls for (1) promotion of more efficient energy use in public facilities, and (2) formation and development of models for independent and decentralized energy systems.
Toyama City aims to achieve a Zero Carbon City by promoting efforts throughout the entire organization and collaborating with private companies.

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
