Summary

In order to realize a sustainable and vibrant local community, the establishment of a “Multi-Generational Coexistent Society” that prevents the declination of regional vitality due to the progress of an aging society, and the establishment of a “Housing Stock Recycling-Oriented Society” in which good-quality housing stock is effectively utilized by multi-generational citizens, are required.

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism holds “the supply of good-quality housing stock, and system reform of resale housing transaction” as one of its main policies. The policy sets a goal to double the resale and renovated housing market size to 20 trillion yen by 2020.
