レジリエント・エコノミー: 日本発、洪水適応インフラの イノベーション
Summary
The document examines Japan's multi-layered approach to flood management, highlighting large-scale engineering like the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel and decentralized nature-based solutions like 'paddy field dams'. It argues that resilience should be treated as a core economic driver and strategic priority for both governments and the private sector to close the global protection gap.
Key insights
- The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel (G-Cans) serves as a capital-intensive urban solution that protects the Tokyo metropolitan area. It consists of a 6.4 km tunnel network and tanks capable of storing up to 670,000 cubic meters of water, reducing the number of flood-affected households in the region from over 84,000 in the 1980s to 5,745 in the 2000s.
- Japan employs a variety of technological innovations for flood mitigation, including AI-based inundation prediction in Fujieda City, satellite-based monitoring using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) by Synspective, and 'smart streetlights' with sensors in Suginami Ward.
