Not long after the inauguration カジノシークレット 出金 速度he Koizumi Cabinet in 2001, the Urban Renaissance Headquarters (URH) was set up with Prime Minister Koizumi appointed to serve as its head. The mission カジノシークレット 出金 速度his organization is to promote intensive urban social infrastructure development and bring about urban revitalization in the interest of eliminating the negative legacies カジノシークレット 出金 速度he last century and enhancing the appeal and international competitiveness カジノシークレット 出金 速度he urban centers that serve as the wellspring of Japan's vitality.
The URH is striving to help Japan achieve economic revitalization by channeling private-sector resources (capital and expertise) into the cities to stimulate fresh demand and boost that カジノシークレット 出金 速度he private sector. In addition, the URH aims to contribute to the disposal of non-performing loans through the enhancement of real estate liquidity.
Drawing from a variety of perspectives on the environment, disaster prevention, and internationalization, the URH has worked hard in the two years since its inception. It has finalized plans for a number of projects aimed at creating new urban areas for the 21st century; it has designated priority urban redevelopment areas that will strive to foster private investment in urban redevelopment with bold incentives that define limits on development periods and locations; it has set up an Urban Renaissance Fund; and, in addition, it has implemented emergency measures and other comprehensivカジノシークレット 出金 速度olicies for urban revitalization nationwide. Thanks to those efforts, the stage for progress in the urban revitalization arena is almost set, and in the years ahead, emphasis will focus on nurturing closer collaboration between thカジノシークレット 出金 速度ublic and private sectors at the local level and putting actual projects into motion.
Nonetheless, many issues remain unresolved. They include fatigue in the private economy, questions about the way private finance initiatives (PFIs, see note below) should be harnessed as an effective vehicle for urban revitalization, and the task of balancing the expectations of vested interests with the principles カジノシークレット 出金 速度he Land Expropriation Law.
Recently, public attention has been drawn to the clusters of high-rise buildings springing up in and around downtown Tokyo, including the Shiodome, Shinagawa, Marunouchi, and Roppongi areas. However, most カジノシークレット 出金 速度hese projects were completed under the constraints of former regulatory frameworks for redevelopment. Roppongi Hills, for example-a massive project on an 11-hectare site with 724,000 m2 カジノシークレット 出金 速度otal floor-space-was designated a redevelopment inducement area by the Metropolis カジノシークレット 出金 速度okyo in 1986, and in fact it took a full 17 years to bring it to completion.
The true value カジノシークレット 出金 速度he URH will be measured in terms カジノシークレット 出金 速度he success it demonstrates in facilitating future urban redevelopment projects and alleviating the associated time risks by ensuring that such projects are not hampered by the traditional drawn-out construction schedules of former years.
In view カジノシークレット 出金 速度he many congested areas of metropolitan Tokyo in dire need of redevelopment (some 6,000 ha combined), and the current (approximately 20 percent) completion rate for the metropolitan loop-road network, which will be an essential infrastructural backbone for future urban redevelopment efforts, the government needs to take some bold steps in the area of regulatory reform, including action to revise the Land Expropriation Law.
- Note on private finance initiatives (PFIs)
- PFIs comprise a strategy for the construction, maintenance, and operation of public infrastructure that couples the financial might, managerial expertise, and technological prowess カジノシークレット 出金 速度he private sector with steps in administrative deregulation and the provision of government incentives. PFIs were adopted in the United Kingdom in the early 1990s for the express objective of boosting the efficiency of public-sector enterprises. In September 1999, Japan inaugurated a similar framework under provisions of its PFI Promotion Law, and the government has since announced plans for the implementation of as many as 100 new projects under that framework.
Although the PFI strategy is finding wider application, concerns have arisen regarding a number of issues, including the limited scope of fields where the private sector's strength and creativity can be utilized, delayed construction fee payments, balanced public-private risk-sharing, and the multi-tiered nature カジノシークレット 出金 速度he contractor selection process.
