Many cities have already fallen into population decline since the 1990s. The difference in growth between cities has become noticeable after that. In four regional hub cities such as Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka, Fukuoka's centrality and vitality have greatly exceeded those of other cities. Fukuoka has positioned itself as an Asian gateway in response to globalization and formed a network with the Asian region, such as international airline routes. For revitalizing sustainably Japanese cities in the future, it is important to form intercity linkages centered on individual cities, recognizing the limits of growth owing to the hierarchical intercity bonds. Various actors gathering in the city in addition to the local government are involved in forming a network centered on their own city. It is expected to the local government to create an environment for them to be able to form interrelationships inside and outside the city.}, pages = {17--24}, title = {Individual City-centered Networks for Sustainable Vitalization of Cities in the Post-growth Society: Through a Case Study of Japanese Regional Hub Cities}, volume = {21}, year = {2022} }
