Feature article : Regional Revitalization and the Role of Academia － Knowledge and People of Civil Engineering for Building Local Communities －

The population of Japan entered a long-term period of decline after reaching its peak of 128.08 million in 2008. It is predicted that the young population (younger than 15) and the working age population (aged 15?64) will decrease and the elderly population (older than 64) will increase. In addition, the movement of the younger generation from local regions to the Tokyo metropolitan area will continue, and the uneven distribution of the population among regions will increase.
Due to these trends, local governments are engaging in regional revitalization efforts to develop attractive local communities with unique characteristics. In addition, academia, as the intellectual and cultural center of these local communities, is providing strong support for these efforts through the collaboration with local communities.
This special issue intends to promote efforts toward further regional revitalization by presenting existing examples of regional collaboration between local communities and the civil engineering departments of universities nationwide.
