TOWARD ENDLESS URBAN GROWTH DEVELOPING A GREEN AND AMENITY-RICH COMMUNITY WITH VITALITY


THREE BASIC AXES
URBAN AXIS
 The new park's trunk road (Ibaraki-Minoh Hills Highway) and the monorail (Saito<International Culture Park>Line) form a key transportation axis connecting the area's western, central and eastern districts.  This axis also serves as an urban core, the East Center, West Center and international cultural facilities zone.
GREEN ZONE AXIS
 Parks and green zones along the main river running through Saito(International Culture Park) form a green zone axis.  The abundant plant and birds and insects life nurtured by the river creates a relaxing, natural atmosphere and serves as a living "field museum".
SERVICE AXIS
 The main streets that serve the East Center and West Center are lined with business, cultural and service facilities.  This lively area gives people access to a variety of amenities.
Consolidation of Urban Foundation
 Urban Renaissance Agency will carry out the necessary work to consolidate the urban foundation, such as roads and parks, under land readjustment plans.  The improve ment of related public facilities will be undertaken by the Osaka Prefectural Government and the Ibaraki and Minoh Municipal Governments in coordination with their respective regional development plans.
Engaging the Vitality of the Private Sector
 Upon the completion of the urban foundation facilities under land readjustment plans, private sector developers will commence work within their respective large-scale sections of the Park to transform it into an attractive urban metropolis, utilizing their unique and original ideas.
Consolidation of Urban Foundation
 The International Culture Park Corporation, a "third sector" company, will promote the development of the International Cultural Facilities Zone, the symbol zone of the park.
