Kyoto needs a community partnership between residents and businesses if it is to increase the luster of each district. This can be accomplished through the promotion of community development initiatives in conjunction with the municipal government.

Kyoto Center for Community Collaboration (KCCC) acts as a mediator between residents, businesses and municipal government to promote community partnerships.

Since it was established the two pillars of KCCC have been the promotion of collaborative community development activities, and the harmonious relationship between land development and the local community.

The KCCC mission is to develop and promote the core character of Kyoto through preservation of the urban landscape. By partnering with various experts, academics, civic groups and volunteers, communities and local economies can be revitalized and the standard of living improved. Kyoto is blessed with a magnificent natural environment and a rich cultural history.

KCCC will continue to develop a community-based network to preserve an authentic Kyoto and enhance its beauty, which in turn encourages people to reside in this city.
