Analysis 22Featured Research25Definitions of Indicators29PrefaceJapan Power Cities,Steering Committee,ChairmanHiroo IchikawaAugust,2021The global COVID-19 pandemic has shown the severity of an infectious disease for the first time in 100 years and raised new questions about the lifestyles and urban activities established in the 20th century.In an era of increasing urbanization,it has given people an opportunity to think about how cities should be in the 21st century.Japan Power Cities-Profiling Urban Attractiveness(JPC)has been produced since 2018 with the aim of improving the overall strength of Japanese cities and generating vitality across the country.To improve the strength of a city,it is necessary to first identify its individuality and main characteristics its assets and attractions,and its areas of weakness.The results of such analysis can be used not only as a benchmark for policy planning in each city,but also as useful data for business and residential choices.In Japan,while the rapid development of the tertiary sector continues to increase growth in major cities,there remains concern about the decline in both population and industry in the smaller,regional cities.The challenges faced concern what form big cities should take and how best to achieve the revitalization of regional cities.To solve these challenges,objectively evaluating the special characteristics of both large and regional cities,so as to clarify their strengths and weaknesses,is indispensable.This year,29 new cities were added to the list by changing the criteria for selecting target cities to all cities with a population above 170,000.In addition,the definitions of some indicators have been changed to make them more relevant,and six new indicators have been added to better reflect the changes in the environment surrounding cities.The data used in JPC-2021 was collected from January to March 2021.We have tried to reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as much as possible.However,the quantitative data for JPC-2021 includes statistical data such as the 2015 Census and 2014 Economic census,which will not capture these impacts.For this reason,we conducted a separate questionnaire survey on what behavior and events occurred before and during the coronavirus pandemic to attempt to understand the actual impacts on employment and school attendance.The JPC will continue to assess the impact of COVD-19 on cities and what will happen after the pandemic.We hope the JPC will continue to help in the formulation of policies that vitalize cities and Japan as a whole.1JAPAN POWER CITIES 202102While the worlds population is predicted to continue growing in the years ahead,the population of Japan is expected to shrink rapidly as a result of a declining birth rate and an aging society.In facing such circumstances head on,cities across Japan,in order to maintain their dynamism,must harness their respective characteristics and push ahead with urban development,while maintaining the magnetism required to attract people and companies,as well as the growth potential that continually demonstrates their urban appeal and strengths.For this to be achieved,cities need to gain an objective understanding of their own strengths and then formulate and execute an urban strategy plan for the next generation.As part of Japan Power CitiesProfiling Urban Attractiveness,a study was carried out on the major cities of Japan to be able to conduct comparative and multi-faced analyses of city strengths based on quantitative and qualitative data and to shed light on city characteristics such as strengths and attractiveness.Research OrganizationBackground and ObjectiveSteering CommitteeCreating the assessment system,as well as performing

202124Special Research Tokyo 23 WardsBefore the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemicAfter the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemicEmployment and schooling before and after the coronavirus pandemicGo to work or school Work or study at homeWork or study at both work or school and home evenlyIn March 2021,we conducted a questionnaire survey in the JPC2021 Target Cities to determine the extent to which telecommuting was used when it was recommended to limit the spread of the coronavirus.A questionnaire survey was conducted with 300 people living in the Target Cities,asking whether before and after the outbreak of the coronavirus they go to work or school,work or study at home,or work or study at both work or school and home evenly.It became clear that the actual situation of telecommuting tends to differ across cities and regions.In the 23 wards of Tokyo after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic,the percentages of respondents who work or study at both work or school and home evenly increased significantly compared to other cities.In cities within the Tokyo metropolitan area,such as Tokorozawa,Ichikawa,and Kawasaki,the percentage of telecommuting employees was also higher,though not as high as in the 23 wards of Tokyo,indicating that telecommuting is becoming more common across the metropolitan area.On the other hand,telecommuting is not as widespread in the Kansai region as it is in the Tokyo metropolitan area,and in core cities other than large regional cities such as Hachinohe and Yamaguchi,the percentage of those who work or study at home has increased slightly but has not changed significantly from before the outbreak of coronavirus.The results of our survey find that the percentage of people working at home has increased significantly in the Tokyo metropolitan area,especially in the 23 wards of Tokyo,and is on a slight upward trend in the Kansai metropolitan area and regional metropolises,with only a slight increase in regional core cities.020406080100ChiyodaChuoMinatoShinjukuBunkyoTaitoSumidaKotoShinagawaMeguroOtaSetagayaShibuyaNakanoSuginamiToshimaKitaArakawaItabashiNerimaAdachiKatsushikaEdogawaChiyodaChuoMinatoShinjukuBunkyoTaitoSumidaKotoShinagawaMeguroOtaSetagayaShibuyaNakanoSuginamiToshimaKitaArakawaItabashiNerimaAdachiKatsushikaEdogawa020406080100
