• Fifth Long-Term Comprehensive Plan of Inagi City Booklet

Note: Some expressions have been modified to support features such as voice reading.

1 Purpose of the Basic Concept

Inagi City has a long history, having been established as Inagi Village in the 22nd year of the Meiji era (1889), and celebrated the 130th anniversary of the village system in the 31st year of the Heisei era (2019).
The townscape of Inagi has transformed from a rural area utilizing a network of irrigation canals to a suburban residential city represented by the development of Tama New Town. Furthermore, while maintaining a good balance between water, greenery, and the convenience of living, urban infrastructure development has been carried out, including the improvement of main roads and the elevation of the JR Nambu Line, resulting in a town without level crossings. As a result, it has become a livable town that combines transportation convenience with a good environment, and the population has continued to grow to this day.
The basic concept, while taking into account this historical background, looks forward to a new era, presenting the future urban image the city aims for and the basic goals of Community Development as fundamental principles. It also indicates the basic direction necessary to realize these goals. Furthermore, considering various circumstances, it examines the perspectives needed for Community Development and is formulated as a guideline for the city to promote long-term and comprehensive Community Development to achieve sustainable development of the local community and a richer citizen life.

2 Future Urban Image

A city surrounded by greenery, filled with friendship - Inagi
Creating smiles and a future together

3 Target Years

This basic plan aims for the early 2030s.

4 Estimated Population

The population for the year 2030 is estimated to be 97,000 people.

5 Basic Perspectives

The Fifth Long-Term Comprehensive Plan of Inagi City identifies the following three perspectives as particularly necessary to realize the future urban image and basic goals of Community Development, and we will work on Community Development.

Perspective 1: Aiming for a city where the power of citizens thrives

In Inagi City, we have been promoting Community Development through Collaboration between citizens and the administration. In this process, in addition to Community Development led by the administration and Community Development carried out in collaboration with citizens, we also see forms of Community Development that are initiated by the citizens themselves.
Citizens are engaging in activities to address local issues from their own perspective, using methods that suit them, which differ from those of the City Administration.
The awareness to actively engage in and improve the community we live in, the pride that we shape this community, and the power of citizens with such "civic pride" will be utilized in community development as the city implements its policies.

Second Perspective: SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)

The basic philosophy of Community Development in Inagi City aligns with the SDGs principle of realizing a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive society that leaves no one behind.
In the Fifth Long-Term Comprehensive Plan of Inagi City, which sets the target year to 2030, the same as the SDGs goal date, we promote sustainable Community Development and aim to achieve the SDGs through its realization.

The Third Perspective: The Year 2030 as a Midpoint

As Japan's population rapidly declines, it is estimated that the aging rate will peak at 36.1% in 2042. By this time, the large Baby Boomer Junior generation will be over 65 years old, while the number of those in their 20s will be only about half of the Baby Boomer Junior generation, leading to a sharp decline in the working-age population around 2040.
As the working-age population decreases at an accelerated pace, municipalities across the country need to share the limited workforce between the public and private sectors. If income and land prices decline, there is a possibility that local tax revenues will also decrease. It is expected that the management of municipalities will become increasingly difficult.
The year 2030, which is the final year of the Fifth Long-Term Comprehensive Plan of Inagi City, needs to be recognized as a midpoint in the timeline leading to 2040. While an increase in population is expected in Inagi City until 2040, many areas in Tokyo and neighboring municipalities are projected to see a decline. In order to share the limited workforce within the community and maintain society, Inagi City needs to gradually establish a system that can sustainably and stably provide citizen services with a small number of staff from now until 2040.

A town that is moderately rural and moderately urban

In the citizen awareness survey conducted in the first year of Reiwa, over 80% of people, regardless of their generation, expressed a desire to continue living in Inagi City, indicating a strong intention to settle. Reasons cited include the good natural environment, the quality of living conditions such as roads, convenience for shopping, and the quality of human relationships.
The rich nature, convenience due to location and urban infrastructure development, and the relationships among the people living there create a pleasant image of Inagi City as a "moderately rural and moderately urban town," which is believed to lead to a desire to continue living here.
In the future, we will continue to engage in Community Development aimed at creating a "moderately rural, moderately urban town" where citizens can settle down while transitioning through generations.

(1) Appropriate scale

In the 17.97 square kilometers of Inagi City, the area is compactly organized with local living hubs, the vibrancy around six train stations, a transportation network centered on main roads, greenery such as the Tama Hills, nearby satoyama, parks and farmland, and waterfronts like the clear waters of the Tama River and the Misawa River and Omaru irrigation, all showcasing various aspects of the region. Additionally, not only large stores but also small and medium-sized shops, hospitals, and necessary Public Facilities are within close living areas, contributing to the ease of living in this scale.
In Inagi City, where the administrative area is of a moderate size, the distance between citizens, the community, and the administration is just right, allowing for Collaboration in implementing Community Development tailored to the characteristics of each area. It can be said that the closeness that allows us to see each other's faces promotes Collaborative Community Development. We will continue to value this scale and promote Community Development through Collaboration based on mutual understanding.

(2) Appropriate Connections

In each district of the city, community activities are being carried out by citizens, forming connections at a level that makes citizens feel comfortable. In recent years, social issues such as the weakening of community ties and the isolation of parenting households due to nuclear families have emerged. However, in Inagi City, through traditional festivals, events, and new initiatives, the entire community is involved in the healthy growth of children. Additionally, addressing aging has become a national issue, but in Inagi City, efforts to extend healthy life expectancy and community monitoring have been implemented to ensure that not only older adults but everyone can live safely in the community. As declining birth rates and aging continue, mutual support and assistance within the community, leveraging these comfortable connections, will become increasingly important. We will continue to develop policies to maintain these comfortable connections and realize a vibrant community through citizen activities.

(3) Moderately rural, moderately urban

Inagi City is located within a 25-kilometer radius of the Shinjuku subcenter, boasting rich water and greenery, as well as beautiful landscapes such as the Tama River and the Tama Hills. At the same time, through urban infrastructure development, we aim to enhance safety and convenience, combining an urban lifestyle that is easy to live in with a living environment rich in water and greenery, evolving into a city with the image of being "a little rural, a little urban."
We will work in collaboration with citizens on the conservation of green spaces, the maintenance of parks and street trees, while maintaining the moderately rural character of Inagi, further improving transportation convenience, and creating a vibrant living environment, aiming for a mature town that is moderately urban.

7 Basic Goals of Community Development

In order to realize the future city image of "a city surrounded by greenery, filled with friendship among its citizens, Inagi," we will establish the following five basic goals for Community Development.
Based on the basic goals of Community Development, we will systematize and summarize the areas of administrative policies while keeping three fundamental perspectives in mind.

1. Parenting・Education・Culture

2. Health, Medical Care, Welfare

   A vibrant town surrounded by water and greenery, Inagi
4. Urban Infrastructure Development, Firefighting, Crime Prevention
   A safe town where everyone can live comfortably and with peace of mind, Inagi
5. Citizens and Administration
   A Sustainable City for Citizens Created Together Inagi

Inagi City has been engaged in Community Development by utilizing the abundant greenery located at the eastern edge of the Tama Hills, as well as the rich water resources from the Tama River, Misawa River, and Omaru irrigation. However, the situation in the city is changing due to urbanization, population growth, and the effects of global warming. We will work to preserve greenery, with citizens, businesses, and the City Administration coming together to create an environment where people and nature can coexist throughout the region, and we will strive to maintain a good environment where nature, such as satoyama, is in close proximity to daily life for the future.
In addition to a good natural environment and living conditions, we will promote a vibrant Community Development by utilizing attractions such as unique urban agriculture, local-rooted commercial and industrial activities, and the vitality generated from sports and recreational activities as tourism resources.

3 Urban Revitalization

As the aging of the diverse housing supplied through projects such as the Tama New Town Project and the Land Readjustment Project progresses, we will accurately grasp the changing needs of citizens regarding housing and community in light of recent challenges such as declining birth rates, an aging population, and nuclear families. Based on this understanding, we will work on the regeneration of communities where various households and generations can smoothly transition and live together, including support for the revitalization of aging housing complexes.

Inagi City, based on the Fire Organization Act, has the Mayor manage fire services and has established the Inagi City Fire Department, fire stations, and fire brigades to adequately fulfill fire protection duties. To ensure that citizens can live safely and securely, we will work to enhance the fire protection system in collaboration with disaster prevention organizations, starting with the fire brigade. In preparation for large-scale disasters, we emphasize the concept of self-help, where individuals protect their own lives, and the concept of mutual aid, where communities protect themselves. Citizens who adhere to these two principles will collaborate with the administration, which plays a role in public assistance, to strengthen local disaster response capabilities.
In addition, citizens, the police, and related organizations will work together to share information on crime prevention and raise awareness of crime prevention, promoting the strengthening of community crime prevention capabilities through voluntary crime prevention activities.

We will address various local issues through collaboration between citizens with civic pride, diverse communities, and the city administration.
Despite the nationwide decline in the labor force population and the challenges of decreasing human resources and tax revenue, we will promote Community Development that engages in sustainable municipal management and can consistently provide high-quality citizen services into the future.

By fostering a consciousness where each citizen values one another and recognizes diversity, we aim to realize a community where the human rights of all individuals are respected. Additionally, by implementing initiatives such as gender equality, we promote a vibrant society where each person's individuality and abilities are respected, allowing everyone to participate in various fields according to their own will. Furthermore, based on the Inagi City Peace City Declaration, we will enhance awareness of peace and, through comprehensive initiatives grounded in the principles of the Inagi City Citizen Charter, promote community development that is rich in peace and brotherhood.

(3) Community Development with Citizen Participation

In order to respond to citizen needs and solve local issues, we will actively disseminate and publish the administrative information that citizens require. We will also strive to understand citizen needs and further promote the sharing of information with a focus on interactivity.
We will seize various opportunities to promote citizen participation, and together with citizens and the administration, we will advance Collaboration in Community Development.

1 Sharing Information Between Citizens and Administration
