The Keihin Waterfront Area (the waterfront area along Yokohama Tsurumi Ward and Kanagawa Ward), where many manufacturing plants are clustered, played a major role in the nation's dramatic growth during the post-World War II years.
In recent years, however, changes in the industrial structure and economic globalization have led to a change in its role from a mass-production site into high-tech plants and R&D centers.
The City of Yokohama is moving forward with the industrial and infrastructure development of this area in order to strengthen its international competitiveness. |
Yokohama Science Frontier
As part of its efforts to turn the city into a life science hub, Yokohama is moving forward with the development of Yokohama Science Frontier (Suehiro Area, Tsurumi Ward), a research center for advanced R&D.
A number of research organizations (ex.RIKEN Yokohama Institute, Yokohama City University Joint Graduate School, Yokohama Joint Research Center, Leading Venture Plaza) and companies are accumulated in this area, making it into a life schence hub.
