Within these areas, renovation subsidies are provided, and property tax and city planning tax exemptions are off ered, to promote the fi reproofi ng of buildings. Moreover, fi reproofi ng of urban areas is strongly promoted by supporting city initiatives for system enhancements and provision of know-how. Eff orts are underway in 52 zones, covering approximately 3,350 hectares (as of April 2021), with the goal of increasing the priority development area noncombustible area ratio (*1) to at least 70% in all development areas by FY2025, and increasing the ratio by at least 10 percent (*2) in all areas.In order to create “communities where fi res will not spread” within redeveloped areas, in 2012 Tokyo Metropolitan Government selected city planning roads eff ective toward improving disaster preparedness in terms of fire blocking, evacuations, and relief as designated routes for improvement. Currently, work is underway spanning 25 km across 28 zones. During the redevelopment, hotlines operated by private sector businesses have been set up to support livelihood restoration closely in tune with the needs of relevant rights holders, including providing information on possible resettlement sites or proposing plans for the reconstruction of buildings. We are promoting the development of all specifi ed implementation lines.This activity will create an atmosphere for building disaster-resistant neighborhoods as part of the local community through awareness programs directed at the residents of areas with close-set wooden houses to communicate the dangers of earthquakes, the importance of self-help and mutual assistance, and to promote a shared sense of awareness. The following eff orts will be made to turn areas with densely-built wooden housing into those where fi res do not spread and are fi reproof by implementing focused and intensive eff orts for development areas.Fireproof Special Zone System Upgrades of Major City-Planned Roads Forming Firebreak BeltsCreating an Atmosphere Conducive to Building Disaster-Resistant CommunitiesMake roadside buildingsfire and earthquake resistantRebuilding for fireproofing; construction of community roods, parks, etc.Shared residences throughprojects that have legal authority(Fireproofing Zones, Designated Roads for Improvement)(After Upgrade)Development of specified implementation linesFireproof ZoneDesignated Route for Improvement*1 Indicator of fire-resistance in urban areas. When the fire-resistant area ratio exceeds 70%, the ratio of fire destruction in the urban area becomes almost zero, as calculated from the state of building fi reproofi ng and open spaces such as roads and parks.*2 Increase from FY2008Eff orts in the Fireproof Special Zone System and Specifi ed Implementation Lines
