Since its birth as Inagi Village in 1889, Inagi City has accumulated a long history, such as celebrating the 130th anniversary of the implementation of the village system in 2019.
The townscape of Inagi has undergone a transformation from an agricultural area that utilizes a network of irrigation canals to a residential city on the outskirts of the Tokyo metropolitan area, represented by the development of Tama New Town. In addition, urban infrastructure development has been carried out while maintaining a good balance between the water and greenery that spread throughout the city and the convenience of living, and the population has continued to grow to this day as a livable city that combines transportation convenience and a good environment.
Based on these historical developments, the basic concept envisions a new era, presents the city's vision of the future city and the basic goals of urban development as the basic philosophy of urban development, and indicates the basic direction to realize it. In addition, we consider the perspectives necessary for community development while taking into account various situations, and formulate guidelines for the city to promote long-term and comprehensive community development in order to realize sustainable development of local communities and a more affluent life for citizens.

Surrounded by greenery, Inagi is a community of citizens filled with friendship. Smiles and the future created by everyone.

This basic concept targets the early 2030s.

About population of 2030 (Raiwa 12), we assume 97,000 people.

The 5th Inagi City Long-Term Comprehensive Plan will work on town development from the following three perspectives that are particularly necessary to realize the future city image and basic goals of town development.

Until now, Inagi City has promoted community development through collaboration between citizens and the government. Among them, in addition to town development led by the government, town development in cooperation with citizens, there are also forms of town development that citizens take initiative.
Citizens and communities are engaged in activities that allow citizens to look at the city from their own perspective and try to solve familiar problems in a way that suits them, different from the government.
The city will develop measures so that the power of citizens with "Civic Pride", such as the awareness of being personally involved in the town in which they live and wanting to make it better, and the pride that they are shaping this town, will be utilized in community development.

The basic philosophy of town development in Inagi City and the SDGs philosophy of realizing a sustainable, diverse and inclusive society where "no one is left behind" are in line with the direction we should aim for.
In the 5th Inagi City Long-Term Comprehensive Plan, which sets the target year as 2030, which is the same as the goal time of the SDGs, we will promote sustainable urban development and at the same time aim to achieve the SDGs through its realization.

With Japan's population rapidly declining, the aging population is estimated to peak at 36.1% in 2042. Around this time, the baby boomer generation, which has a large population, will reach the age of 65 or older, and the number of people in their 20s will remain about half of the baby boomer generation.
As the working-age population declines at an accelerated pace, local governments across the country will have to share the scarce labor force between the public and private sectors, and if incomes and land prices decline or fall, local tax revenues may decline. It is expected that the management of municipalities will increase in difficulty.
It is necessary to recognize that 2030, the final year of the 5th Inagi City Long-term Comprehensive Plan, is at the halfway point in the timeline toward 2040. Inagi City's population is expected to increase until 2040, but it is estimated that it will decrease in Tokyo and many neighboring municipalities. In order to share the scarce labor force within the region and maintain society, Inagi City also needs to gradually develop a system that can provide sustainable and stable citizen services with a small number of employees from now until 2040.

According to the citizen awareness survey conducted in 2019, more than 80% of people, regardless of generation, want to continue living in Inagi City, indicating a strong desire to settle down. Reasons for this include the good natural environment, the good living environment such as roads, the convenience of shopping, etc., and the good human relations.
It is believed that the abundant nature, the convenience of the location and the development of the urban infrastructure, and the interaction of the people who live there create a good image of Inagi City as a “moderately rural, moderately urban town” and lead to people wanting to continue living there.
We will continue to develop the town with the aim of creating a “moderately rural, moderately urban town” where citizens can settle down while changing generations.

The 17.97 square kilometer area of ​​Inagi City is compactly packed with a variety of features, such as the hub for local life, bustle around six stations, a transportation network centered on arterial roads, greenery such as the Tama Hills, satoyama that is familiar to daily life, parks and farmlands, the clear waters of the Tama River and waterside areas such as the Daimaru Canal and the Misawa River flowing through the flatlands. In addition to large-scale stores, there are also small and medium-sized stores, hospitals, public facilities and other facilities necessary for daily life within a close living area.
In addition, in Inagi City, where the administrative district is moderately large, there is a good sense of distance between the citizens and the region and the administration, and we have worked together to implement community development according to the characteristics of each region. It can be said that the sense of distance that allows us to see each other's faces promotes collaborative community development. We will continue to value this sense of scale and work together to promote community development based on mutual understanding.

In each district of the city, community activities are carried out by citizens, and local connections are formed to the extent that citizens feel comfortable. In recent years, social problems have arisen, such as the weakening of community ties and the isolation of child-rearing families due to nuclear families. All are involved in the healthy development of children. In addition, although the aging of the population has become a national issue, Inagi City is making efforts to extend healthy life expectancy and to ensure that everyone, not just the elderly, can live with peace of mind in the community. I've been working on it. With the declining birthrate and aging population, it will become more and more important to help and support each other in the community by making good use of ties. We will continue to develop measures to maintain such good connections and to realize a vibrant community through citizen activities.

Inagi City is located within 25 kilometers from the Shinjuku subcenter, but has abundant water and greenery, and boasts beautiful scenery such as the Tama River and the Tama Hills. On the other hand, we have improved safety and convenience through urban infrastructure development, etc., and have developed into a city with an image of "moderately rural and moderately urban", combining a comfortable urban part with a living environment full of water and greenery.
We will work with citizens to conserve green spaces and maintain parks and roadside trees, and aim to create a moderately urban and mature town by further improving the convenience of transportation, etc., while maintaining a moderately rural Inagi, and creating a bustling base for living.

Toward the realization of the future city image, "Inagi, a town of citizens surrounded by greenery and full of friendship," we have set the following five basic goals for town planning.
With the basic goal of urban development as a pillar, we will systematize and summarize the fields of administrative measures while keeping in mind three basic viewpoints.
