5.Plans Revision based on the "Tsukuba Science City Construction
Act"
Tsukuba Science City has entered a new developmental
stage (the Third Stage of Tsukuba's Development), with start of the "Tsukuba
Express Line" and with construction of the "Ken-o Do" (Metropolitan Inter City Expressway) as well
as with the 1996 enactment of the Basic Plan for Science and Technology. In April,1998,
the "Tsukuba Science City Area Development Plan" and the "Surrounding Suburban
District Development Plan" were revised, both of which are based on the "Tsukuba
Science City Construction Act". The revision outlines that Tsukuba Science City
in the 21st century aims to become the center of scientific research, a fully
functioning, self-sufficient core city, and an Eco-Life Model city that coexists
with nature and the surrounding rural environment. Based on the revised plans,
Tsukuba Science City will be developed in closer cooperation with the government,
local government bodies, and other institutions concerned. |
