Launching “Project SDGs Town & People”
Ogawa Town of Saitama Prefecture is launching its town project “Ogawa SDGs Town & People Project” in June 2020, as actively promoting SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The goal of this project is to implement its public-participation style town-planning for a sustainable town. The town-planning uses the best of Ogawa’s unique local resources, such as richly blessed nature, beautiful scenery of the Satoyama landscape, traditional Japanese paper craftsman’s technique (registered as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage), organic agriculture and most importantly, the quality time that you can gently immerse yourself in nature.
Project Overviews
The project has received a grant for the promotion of rural area revitalization. Making the best use of the grant, the project should contribute to the three elements that the global society is dealing with: ecology, economy and society.
The goals of the project are
1) a value improvement of rural areas through town-planning and people nurturing and
2) implementation of a sustainable circular economic society where people and nature live together in peace.
The “6S COMMITMENTS” are the most important elements for the town-planning project. A platform for public participation will be created so the residents can take leading parts in the town-planning.
