Overview
“Fukuoka Model”: a “City with a Good Balance
between People, Environment and Urban Vitality”
Fukuoka City believes that the value of a city is to be found in a good balance between
various components such as “comfortable space,” “urban vitality,” and “abundant nature,” for
both residents and visitors.
In 2011 the UN-HABITAT Fukuoka Office put forward six components for leading urban life
in a sustainable and healthy way in fast-growing medium-sized cities in Asia with
populations of 300,000 to 1,500,000, which were: “life,” “education,” “transportation,” “safety
and security,” “business and economy,” and “global environment.”
Fukuoka City is praised as being a “liveable” city at home and abroad. Its urban development
approach, referred to as the “Fukuoka Model,” provides a good balance of the six components
to support a high quality of life.
The “Fukuoka Model” represents a “city with a good balance between people, environment
and urban vitality,” which Fukuoka City is creating.

Fukuoka’s Know-how on Livable City Development
Fukuoka City continues to develop as a major urban center that is the closest to the Asian
continent and the liveliest city in Japan. Since Japan's economic development in the 1950s and
1960s, the country has experienced various social problems such as population growth and the
progress of urbanization. However, Fukuoka City has overcome these problems. Fukuoka City,
which has developed considerably through its history of cultural exchange with Asia, considers it
a duty to share its experiences with other countries and regions that are facing similar social
issues.
１．Creating a city with attention to urban design
A well-designed urban landscape attracts people and drives the wheels of commerce.
With this idea in mind, Fukuoka City is creating design-conscious urban areas which
make for fundamentally comfortable living spaces.
２．Creating a comfortable city for the elderly
The Japanese population has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, but is
also one of the most rapidly ageing. Fukuoka City runs a public welfare system for the
elderly, creating a city that is amenable to the elderly.
３．Creating a city that values water resources
Fukuoka City is working on the development of drought-resistant urban areas,
efficient water distribution programs and campaigns to increase water conservation as
part of its water efficiency initiatives. Specifically, it is proactively working on advanced
sewage treatment and flood control measures, in an effort to develop
environmentally-friendly urban areas that value water resources.
４．Creating a city that takes advantage of environmentally-friendly waste
disposal technologies
Fukuoka City and Fukuoka University have jointly developed a new landfill structure
called “The Fukuoka Method”, which has been adopted by various cities in Japan as the
standard structure for refuse landfills. This innovative refuse treatment technology has
increasingly been implemented in Asian-Pacific countries due to its comparatively easy
construction.
５．Creating a safe and secure city (fire fighting and disaster prevention)
Fukuoka City has the resources in place to protect the lives of its residents 24 hours
a day, 365 days a year, including advanced fire fighting and prevention technologies and
excellent emergency response and rescue services.
As a result of such urban development efforts, today, more than 90% of Fukuoka City residents
consider the city as livable. Fukuoka City also has the advantage of having great access to other
major Asian cities via international airline routes. With a wide range of accommodation options
and world-class transport facilities, Fukuoka City makes possible visits and training sessions
that are highly functional both in terms of time and cost.
Come to Fukuoka for hints on comfortable city development for your own region.

Urban Landscapes
Creating a City with Attention to Urban Design
Wellspring of a sustainable city that attracts people
A well-designed urban landscape consists of not only the exteriors of buildings but also other
components such as lush greenery in the city center, creative use of above- and under- ground
space, compact urban functions that make life convenient, control of the city’s urban development
to make the best use of architectural characteristics, and people-friendliness. These diverse
urban design components attract people and drive the wheels of commerce, and the city can take
a path to sustainable development.

Japan’s has by far the world’s most aging society with more than 25% of its
population aged 65 or older, and this figure is expected to grow. In Asia, numerous
countries, such as South Korea and Singapore, are expected to follow this trend at an
even faster rate than Japan. These countries need to develop or improve their social
service systems to deal with their aging populace. You will be briefed on the social
security system of Japan, the forerunner in aging populations, including pension,
medical care, and nursing care. We will also explore services for the elderly currently
in place in Fukuoka.

２．Aiming to be an information center of aging societies
In South Korea, the law on long-term care insurance for the elderly came into force in July 2008,
inspired by the nursing care insurance system of Japan whose population is aging ahead of
other countries. Since the Korean law is modeled on the Japanese system, training visits to Japan
are becoming more common.
In response to these needs, Fukuoka City has established an organization to facilitate many visits
and training courses.
Fukuoka City is an ideal place for visits and training because of its geographical proximity to Asia,
good transport infrastructure and concentration of many health and welfare facilities for the
elderly.

Environment
Creating a City That Takes Advantage of
Environmentally-friendly Waste Disposal Technologies
Environmentally-friendly “Fukuoka Method” accredited by the UN
The world has a common challenge to dispose of waste in an environmentally-friendly way.
The “Fukuoka Method” has been implemented as standard for waste disposal landfill in several
Japanese regions. It has three features: reduction of one cause of global warming by suppressing
methane gas production, installation at relatively low cost, and easy maintenance and
management.
Fukuoka is creating a city that curbs waste disposal at landfill sites by being aware of garbage
minimization, reusing and recycling waste materials, and burning rubbish at incinerators safely
and stably.

▽ Lectures and practical training on the waste disposal landfill
technology known as the ”Fukuoka Method”
01_Lectures and practical training on the ”Fukuoka Method”
EET-01
In this method, sewage water is quickly discharged through a water collection tube at the bottom
of the reclaimed land. Natural air-flow accelerates decomposition of refuse, improving the quality
of sewage water and suppressing methane gas production.
This technology is attracting a lot of attention from other Asian-Pacific countries that use landfills
for garbage disposal because it does not require any advanced equipment and can be built and
operated relatively easily while still working to prevent global warming.
Technical experts will give training based on a program that the Fukuoka Environment
Foundation has used in Malaysia, Samoa, Pakistan and other countries at the request of JICA.
