Neyagawa City (Nyagawas-shi) was changed to a designated city on April 1, 2001.
The designated city system was newly established for the purpose of promoting
the decentralization when the Local Autonomy Law was revised in 1999.
In addition to the cabinet-order designated cities (Seirei Shitei Toshi) and
the core cities (Chukaku Shi) ( with population over 300,000 ) and the cities with population
over
200,000 were designated so as to realize more creative and animated
local communities for taking the leadership of localities in the era of decentralization
through entrusting them a certain range of administrative authority.
Building more independent and original community is possible with your own
responsibility by making the best use of the local characteristics when your
most familiar city has more administrative authorities.
Neyagawa City devotes to promotion of decentralization and improvement of administrative
constitution as well as well-arranged service for the citizens.
