Under this concept, Toyama revamped its Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and developed projects to concentrate the city’s services and population along the rail lines. The city aims to ease the burden of administrative costs and make the city an easier place to live in for citizens without cars. This policy has already led to the number of new arrivals to the city to overtake the number of people leaving, as well as a reduction in CO2 emissions. In June 2012, Toyama City was among the five world-leading cities cited in Compact City Policies, a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).In 2017, the city began a initiative called Safe & new Environmentally Smart Model Town Blocks. Under this initiative, the city is establishing housing estates, community centers and childcare centers on unused land along the LRT route.
