Toyota City
Message from the Mayor of Toyota City
Toshihiko Ota
Toyota City has been collaborating with leading companies and organizations in the automobile, energy, housing, transportation, and distribution industries to conduct demonstrations for the construction of a next-generation low-carbon society system. It has been reflecting the most advanced environmental technologies in city planning with the aim of creating the world’s most successful city, where automobiles and people coexist in harmony.
We expect that the experience we have gained as a core city of the world’s leading manufacturing industry will contribute to solving problems in other industrial cities and Asian countries with remarkable economic development. We would like to accelerate and expand our local efforts to realize a sustainable society together with the members of ICLEI. We hope to accelerate and expand local initiatives to realize a sustainable society together with ICLEI members.
Overview of Toyota City
Toyota City is a core city located in the centre of Aichi Prefecture, about 30 km east of Nagoya, the capital of the prefecture. In 2005, the city merged with six surrounding towns and villages in the Yahagi River basin, which runs through the city. The city now covers 20% of Aichi Prefecture. 70% of the city area is forested, which is similar to the percentage of forested area in the whole of Japan. The city has both urban areas where industry and population are concentrated, and mountainous areas with rich nature, history, and culture.
The predecessor of the city was Koromo-cho, which once prospered from sericultural silk production. In the early Showa period (1926-1989), the city was threatened by a recession, but it overcame the crisis by attracting the Toyota Motor Corporation plant (now Toyota Motor Corporation). Toyota City has developed along with the automobile industry. In addition to automobiles, the city is also known for its agricultural products such as peaches, rice, and jumbo pears.

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
