Summary of the 2nd Basic Guidelines For Globalization

The population of foreign citizens living in Tsukuba City was 11,721 as of October 1, 2022, accounting for approximately 4.6% of the city's total population with the number growing every year. As the number grows, types of residential status have also been diversified. Tsukuba has had many foreign residents with the status of researcher and student but recent years have seen increase in foreign residents with the status of resident other than these conventional ones. This means that daily living support services for foreign residents also need to be diversified.

As the globalization of the city is anticipated to further accelerate in the future, we have formulated the Second Tsukuba City Basic Guidelines for Globalization. The Guidelines are set out to promote community-building efforts together with people of various backgrounds so that we can create communities where everyone - regardless of their nationality - can thrive and live with peace of mind.

With the goal of building a livable global city for all, we will pursue initiatives in Tsukuba City including improving daily living support services for foreign residents, providing opportunities for them to connect and contribute to their community, promoting intercultural cohesion, and encouraging various international collaboration.
