A FUNCTIONAL AND COMFORTABLE CITY
The city center,where theformation of a new town is in progress.
A 'HUMAN CITY' IS THE KEYNOTE.
An affluent, comfortable, caring city should be more than just
functional; it must also be safe and pleasant.
In Hita, progress is being made to create a city which plays a
central role both in the Hlta-Kusu area and in northern Kyushu,
and which makes the most of its natural characteristics and
climate to be pl~asure to live in.
With its natural swiming pool,the Ono River
has become a popular place to appriciate nature.
CONSOLIDATION OF THE ROAD S.SYSTM
Four main national highways-Routes 210, 211, 212 and 386-
cross within the city area, making the city a stategic point for
traffic in the interior of northern Kyushu.
In addition, the opening of the Trans-Kyushu Highway, which forms
the backbone of the road system in Kyushu, has had a great impact
on the social and economic life of Hita.
For this reason, as work goes ahead on the consolidation of
bypasses, access road and streets in line with town planning,
progress is being made in making the roads and streets that are
part of our everyday lives into not merely practical, but safe and
convenient thoroughfares.
DEVELOPMENT, OF THE CITY AREA.
For a city to have both human charm and a relaxing
atmosphere, it is necessary to consolidate the foundations of the
town, sculpt the townscape, and carefully plan the use of land .
For this reason, streets are being improved and new roads laid
in the city's central area, with the intention of creating a spacious
city where people can live in harmony with urban functionality.
Work is going ahead to create a cityscape with a human touch;
the themes are abundant water and greenery, history and culture,
and streets full of vitality.
PARKS AND GREENS AREA.
There is something about being surrounded by greenery that
makes us feel relaxed Hita aims to have 'a park in every district' ,
to provide recreation spots where residents can relax and enjoy
their leisure time.
The city is striving to create parks and green
zones with individual features particular to their areas.
