The City of Yokohama has recently been featured in VEJA, a leading weekly magazine in Brazil, as a city advancing sustainable urban development.

The article highlights Yokohama’s initiatives not only to promote itself as a tourist destination, but also in terms of its environmental policy and urban management. In particular, it introduces the city’s efforts to reduce waste through a citizen-participatory waste separation and recycling system, as well as its urban development that integrates its waterfront areas, green spaces, and city functions, rooted in its history as a port city.

The article also makes mention of GREEN×EXPO 2027 (International Horticultural Expo 2027), scheduled to be held in Yokohama, discussing its status as an international platform addressing global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity, and as an opportunity to showcase future models of sustainable cities and societies.

This feature represents an example of Yokohama’s initiatives being introduced in a major Brazilian media outlet.
