I know how wonderful Toyama city has been struggling for rebuilding from automobile society to public transportation use for elderly people. Making the compact city is the way for the shrinking population era.
The Mayor Mori had a grand vision for the future ideal town. “In developing a city plan for the elderly, we emphasized a city that would encourage them to get out. A city that contains nothing but unhealthy elderly residents faces high medical and health care costs, creating a sense of burden for younger residents. The point was to create a place where they could walk and have opportunities to meet people rather than just stay at home because they don’t drive,” Mori said.
It's a new world

Oh…you’re in the suburb of the city, not so convenient with transportation yet. But being compact might be around the city area with no cars. It’s better to use ride and park space at the station!
