Panel Display CornerThis
section shows the construction of Tsukuba Science City and all of its research
institutes. | | | Tsukuba
Science City really is a breakthrough in the field of high technology. Research
and educational institutes were moved from overcrowded Tokyo and other metropolitan
areas, to the much more spacious and suitable study environment of Tsukuba.
In
September 1955, there was a cabinet agreement to try and solve the problem of
population density, by focusing on more development in rural districts. Tsukuba
Science City is a prime example of this, and has been built up from nothing to
one of approximately 46 research and educational institutions, including Tsukuba
University. Including privately owned ones, there are at present approximately
300 research institutes and industries, which have advanced into Tsukuba's surrounding
research and development industrial areas. There are some 13,000 researchers at
these institutes making it the largest accumulation of scientific technology in
Japan.
The panel display corner includes information on:
- the reasons behind the construction of Tsukuba Science
City
