n 1997, Yokosuka City celebrated the 90thanniversary of its foundation and pledged a new image, "Metropolitan Seaside Community". As a volunteer town-planning group, with a view to a future and an international community that befits this image of Yokosuka, we at the Yokosuka Citizenship Committee (YCC) advocated town planning that puts the dreams and expansion of the ocean at its center. Coming up to the fifth anniversary of this proposal, we would like to tell you about the first four years of our activities.
