Aiming for a symbiotic society
~ From the symbiotic host town to the whole country ~
Cabinet Secretariat Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Promotion Headquarters
Promotion of host town
A `` host town '' where the Cabinet Secretariat registers local governments who will interact with the athletes participating in the Games and the people of the participating countries and regions in order to revitalize the region in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Is spreading nationwide. It is also important to establish a symbiotic society throughout Japan as a legacy of the Tokyo Games. For this reason, we have exchanged with the Paralympians, and as a result, we have registered municipalities that carry out “universal design urban development” and “mind barrier-free” initiatives as “Symbiotic Society Host Towns”. The Cabinet Secretariat recognizes, among these, local governments that take the initiative and advanced initiatives as “leading symbiotic society host towns”.
In order to realize a symbiotic society, it is important not only to the region where the Games are held, but also to take measures that take advantage of the characteristics of each region throughout the country, and to continue as a legacy after the Games. I believe.
