Significance and philosophies
of the City’s construction |
The construction of Kansai Science City (“Keihanna”)
was undertaken to create a base for activities focusing on
the three philosophies outlined below, and for new creative
developments in culture, sciences, and research that combine
elements of different industries, different disciplines, and
different countries. These activities also take advantage
of the rich cultural and scientific resources that have been
cultivated in the Kinki region.
In addition to contributing to the creation of a “new
Kinki,” this project contributes to the development
of culture, science, and research in Japan and throughout
the world, and to the ?development of the national economy.

divided to twelve districts and total about 3600ha.
The surrounding zone has necessary facilities to enhance the
Science zone and conserves natural
environments. |

Features of the city developments |
| The Science zones are
designed to have 12 districts like a grape bunch. Each districts
shares the functions and all districts are organically connected
with the transportations and information networks, which is
a polycentric coordination style of the development methods.
In this method, these districts are able to harmonize with
the existing urban districts and conserve the agricultural
areas and natural environments such as woods |
| Considering integrity of the entire city,
developments are performed designedly and gradably from the
Science zone where the development
conditions have been fulfilled. In this way, huge prior investments
and drastic changes can be prevented. Effective constructions
can be performed accordingly. |
| Underlying cooperation of industries, academies
and government, nongovernmental powers are utilized at the
maximum. Each party performs the properly allocated roles
and develops public beneficial facilities related to the Science facilities, habitations, other habitats
and urban functions |
