Policy for Promotion of the Global City Strategy

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government aims to build upon the legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Games and have Tokyo become the world's city of choice--a city that can pick up on and agilely respond to global trends such as digital transformation, the shift to zero carbon, and heightening awareness of social inclusion.
Initiatives to raise Tokyo's international presence are essential to achieving this goal. Policy for government-wide implementation of such initiatives was compiled in June 2022 as Policy for Promotion of the Global City Strategy.
