Kamakura

Kamakura, a former Shogunate capital with a wealth of historical heritage is surrounded by green hills and a long coastline. 20 million tourists visit every year. The birth rate is declining, the population is aging, and revenues are shrinking. Kamakura is aiming to solve these problems and promote sustainable urban management.

Kamakura will continue to collaborate with Umea and start new cooperation with Metropolitan City of Venice for sustainable community planning. VMC is interested in Kamakura’s approach for tourism and culture.
