Osaka City Making the overall city low-carbon
Expand areas to be considered to the
area of the “City Development”
Expansion to
“City Development”
Many of the areas are the ones where
local governments have know-how
-> Dispatching human resources is also
effective

Transportation
demand
management
Comprehensively reduce traffic
demands of cars and make public
transportation readily available in order
to make transportation smoother.
To be concrete, provide information on
traffic jams and alternative routes,
regulate traffic and guide routes in
order to make traffic demands proper
through changes in means, routes and
time and effective use of cars (such as
ride sharing or car sharing).
