Toyama City, one of the World Bank TDLC City Partnership Program cities, has become synonymous with the idea of a compact and livable city in Japan. It is a pleasant regional city with a population of about 420,000, situated in a dramatic landscape between the steep Tateyama mountain range on the east and deep Toyama Bay on the north side. The city has been consistently ranked among the best cities to live within the Hokuriku region. This report illustrates the compact city development in the city, along with series of cross-sectoral case studies on disaster risk management, waste management, inclusive community engagement, and a comprehensive resilient city approach.

Focusing on the marginal region of Toyama, on the Sea of Japan, the author explores the interplay of central and regional authorities, local and national perceptions of rights, and the emerging political practices in Toyama and Tokyo that became part of the new political culture that took shape in Japan following the Meiji Restoration. Lewis argues that in response to the demands of the centralizing state, local elites and leaders in Toyama developed a repertoire of supple responses that varied with the political or economic issue at stake.
This case study is showcases examples where the “G20 Principles for Quality Infrastructure Investment (QII)” have been operationalized in Japan`s urban infrastructure projects. It highlights Toyama City, which is now a global role model for compact city development and reviews the city's difficult journey towards a compact city through the lens of Economic Efficiency and Infrastructure Governance, which are two of the six G20 Principles for QII. This case study sheds light on the importance of governance aspects such as alignment with the national policy, organizational commitment, and collaboration with the private sector. Furthermore, it illustrates how effective governance can lead to economic efficiency and some evidence of a compact city`s wider benefits. The implications are expected to benefit policymakers and practitioners in developing countries.
