Facility Visit and Training Programs

１　Program Overview

  With the input of many residents, Fukuoka City has created the Fukuoka City Comprehensive Plan, a document laying out the city’s strategic vision to achieve a virtuous cycle that balances improving residents’ quality of life and urban growth. The city is aiming to become the leading city in Asia and has been promoting urban development that achieves harmony among people, the environment and urban vitality.

  As a result, more than 98% of Fukuoka residents praise the city for its livability. At the Asia-Pacific Urban Forum, Fukuoka was selected as a model example for cities with populations of 500,000 to 1 million, being described as “compact, dynamic, and livable”. Fukuoka City is highly rated both in Japan and abroad as easy to live in and energetic. 　

  To introduce Fukuoka’s city development, we offer Visit and Lecture programs in the following fields; urban landscapes, welfare, water resources, environment, disaster management, and others.

  We have opened the entries for onsite programs as well as online lecture.
