In 2009, the World Bank launched an urban development initiative called Eco2 Cities: Ecological Cities as Economic Cities (Eco2 Cities Initiative) to help cities in developing countries achieve greater synergistic ecological and economic sustainability. This study, entitled 'Study of Japanese Experiences on Sustainable Urban Development including Pollution Control and Management, Resource/Energy Efficiency and GHG Reduction,' was conducted to cover components A and C of the Eco2 East Asia Program with the following objectives: (i) To undertake a study of Japanese experiences on sustainable urban development including pollution control and management, resource/energy efficiency and GHG reduction (Task 1), and (ii) To coordinate and prepare the Eco2 international conference in Yokohama, Japan, on 21-23 October 2010 (Task 2). This report mainly focuses on Task 1, whose objectives are to compile and analyze Japanese experiences on sustainable urban development, including pollution control and management and resource/energy efficiency and GHG reduction, which are relevant to the Eco2 initiative and its implementation in cities in developing countries, as well as to draw lessons from these experiences for the implementation of the Eco2 initiative.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYALLOCATION OF LANDAPARTMENT BUILDINGARSENICBUSBUS TRANSPORTATIONCADMIUMCARCAR OWNERSHIPCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON MONOXIDECARSCENTRAL URBAN AREASCITIES ALLIANCECITY AUTHORITIESCITY CENTERCITY CENTERSCITY DEVELOPMENTCITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGYCITY GOVERNMENTCITY GOVERNMENTSCITY STAKEHOLDERSCLIMATE CHANGECOALCOMMUNITIESCOMMUTER TOWNSDECISION MAKINGDEREGULATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDIESELDIESEL CARSDUSTECOLOGYECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INCENTIVESECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITYEFFECTIVE USEEMERGENCY TRANSPORTATIONEMISSIONEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSEMPLOYMENTENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTAL TARGETSENVIRONMENTSFLOOR AREAFLOOR AREA RATIOFORESTRYFUELFUEL TAXGREENHOUSE GASHEALTH HAZARDSHEALTH PROBLEMSHOUSING CONSTRUCTIONHOUSING DEVELOPMENTINCREASE IN LAND PRICESINDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENTINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURESJOB TRAININGLAND DEVELOPMENTLAND MANAGEMENTLAND OWNERSLAND USELIGHT RAILLIGHT RAIL TRANSITLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOW-INCOMELOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDSMASS TRANSPORTATIONMETROPOLITAN AREAMETROPOLITAN AREASMODAL SHAREMODAL SHARESMUNICIPALITIESNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNEIGHBORHOODNOISEO&MOILPOLLUTERSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION PREVENTIONPOLLUTION PROBLEMSPOPULATION DENSITYPRIVATE DEVELOPERSPRIVATE LANDPROPERTY TAXESPUBLIC AUTHORITIESPUBLIC FACILITIESPUBLIC HEARINGSPUBLIC HOUSINGPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC LANDPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONRAILWAYRAILWAYSRAPID URBANIZATIONREAL GNPRECLAMATIONRECYCLINGRESIDENTIAL AREASRESIDENTIAL LANDRISE IN LAND PRICESRISK MANAGEMENTROADROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD DEVELOPMENTROAD NETWORKROAD TRAFFICROADSROUTESAFETYSCHOOLSSEWERAGE SYSTEMSSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSPRAWLSTREETSSULFUR DIOXIDESUSTAINABLE CITIESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE SOCIETYSUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENTTAXTAX REDUCTIONTAXATIONTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC FATALITIESTRANSPORTTRANSPORTATION SERVICESTRAVEL DEMANDTRAVEL DISTANCESURBAN AREAURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTURBAN ECONOMYURBAN ENVIRONMENTURBAN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESURBAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSURBAN FORMURBAN GOVERNANCEURBAN GROWTHURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTURBAN ISSUESURBAN LANDURBAN LAND USEURBAN LIFEURBAN LIVINGURBAN MANAGEMENTURBAN MANAGEMENT POLICIESURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN PLANNINGURBAN POLICYURBAN POPULATIONURBAN PROBLEMSURBAN REDEVELOPMENTURBAN REVITALIZATIONURBAN ROADURBAN ROADSURBAN SPRAWLURBANIZATIONURBANIZINGUTILITIESVACANT LOTSVEHICLEVEHICLE EMISSIONVEHICLE EMISSIONSVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLESWASTEWASTE DISPOSALWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTESWATER POLLUTIONWATER QUALITYWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMWorld Bank10.1596/12815
