Toshima Ward's Civic Proposal System

Toshima Ward is excited to announce the launch of its new Civic Proposal System, starting on April 10, as part of its commitment to incorporating community voices into local governance. This initiative aims to engage residents in proposing innovative projects that address vital societal needs.

Call for Proposals

Residents are encouraged to submit proposals under two key themes:
1. Eco-friendly Urban Development
2. Enhancing Regional Awareness and Image

1. Eco-friendly Urban Development

As global warming remains a pressing issue, this first theme emphasizes the sustainable use of resources, especially in high-density urban areas like Toshima. Proposals that focus on energy conservation, green space preservation, and community beautification are particularly encouraged. The goal is to create a healthier environment that can be passed down to future generations.

2. Enhancing Regional Awareness and Image

The second theme focuses on improving the awareness and image of Toshima Ward. Residents can propose innovative communication strategies that highlight the unique characteristics and attractions of their localities. The aim is to adopt fresh methods of information dissemination and promotional activities that engage the community and enhance public-private partnerships.

Proposal Submission Details

The submission period for project proposals is from April 10 to May 18. Individuals and groups from Toshima Ward, including companies, organizations, and schools, are encouraged to participate. There is no age restriction for individual applicants, making the initiative accessible to everyone involved in the community.

Funding Limit

Each proposal can receive funding of up to 10 million yen for single-year projects. This financial support aims to encourage impactful and implementable ideas that will benefit the community.

How to Apply

Proposals can be submitted via the internet or by mail. For more information on how to apply, residents can visit the Toshima Ward official website.
