Conclusion.  aLocal Governance in Japan is the first comprehensive exploration of local governance, examining the sustainability of local governments operating with limited policy resources. This interdisciplinary study integrates insights from public administration, political science, economics, sociology, and business management. Japan has faced significant challenges in ensuring sustainability, from rapid economic growth in the mid-20th century to the bubble's burst in the 1990s, and the population decline since 2008, along with large-scale natural disasters. Amid systemic changes—including a 46% reduction in local governments—local administrations have been developing effective cooperative relationships between local governments and exploring the significance of cooperation with citizens, NPOs, and the private sector. Characterized by extensive public facilities and infrastructure, Japan’s local governments provide a model for addressing future governance challenges. This book is essential for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking innovative strategies to maintain public services and navigate the complexities of governance in a resource-constrained world. 0aPolitical science.958714 0aHuman geography.958506 0aPublic administration.957503 0aFinance, Public.95908114aGovernance and Government.24aHuman Geography.95850624aPublic Administration.95750324aPublic Finance.9577191 aNoda, Yu.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9903702 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303177321108iPrinted edition:z978303177323508iPrinted edition:z9783031773242 0aLocal and Urban Governance,x2524-545796958040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-77322-8  aZDB-2-POS  aZDB-2-SXPI  c66471d66471
