・If it is properly maintained, the importance will be conveyed to those who pass by.
・The Tagawa Canal is wonderful because it blends in with its surroundings, but I'm worried about the growth of anything other than the Tamaryu in this year's weather. Furthermore, the full extent of the Shinbori Channel is still unknown.

Measure name Examination of operation of leased land park system
Business report

Negotiations with the rights holders of Shimotsukato (Shimotsukato) resulted in approval for public notice and facility development as a park, although not as a leased park.

Business report Implemented green curtains at each cultural center (not implemented at Shiroyama), rooftop greening of i-Plaza

・I think it's good that it doesn't take much effort and keeps you cool.

・It is clearly visible from the slope beside the facility, and the overall green area including the library has increased, giving a good impression.
- It is necessary to monitor outsourced management and establish a management system.
