| To produce an environment designed based on our walking speed |
| (1) |
There is only one railroad station that links to the main entrance of this area, as in Zermatt, Disneyland and Venice. |
| (2) |
Gasoline cars are prohibited. Only electric cars (speed limited to less than 20km per an hour) for business use are permitted. |
| (3) |
There are commercial facilities between the station and the central open space, around which several kindergartens, two elementary schools, one junior high school, and one high school are set up. The athletic grounds of the schools are connected to the open space, allowing the residents on the island to use the grounds. |
| (4) |
The University of Environmental Information stands as the symbol of this area, at the northernmost of the north and south axis on which the entrance and the central open space are located. It is the tallest building on the island, and is open for students from all over the world. (Anyone can enter without taking the entrance exam, but midterm exams are very difficult) |
| (5) |
Canals and ponds retaining rainwater for reuse surround the central open space, and a beltway for electric-powered buses runs along the canals. In addition, the central open space links directly to the neighboring beach parks, thanks to the roads radiating outward. |
| (6) |
Advanced medical welfare center and natural environment Park are located on the south of the station. |
| (7) |
The buildings are arranged so that high-rise buildings are built in the north and low-rise ones in the south, allowing solar battery panels installed in their roofs and their outer walls to absorb solar energy efficiently without being blocked by each other. |
| (8) |
The land is sloping down from the north to the south so that kitchen waste from the disposers in the buildings can flow into the fuel cell power station efficiently. |
| (9) |
To promote self-sufficiency of electrical supply, I would like to propose setting up wind-generated power facilities in the neighboring district, in addition to (7) and (8).（cf. the perspective drawing below） |
