　In Toyama City, in order to overcome the situation where the city area expands to the suburbs in a disorderly manner and the center becomes hollow, the policy policy was changed drastically from around 2005, and public transportation was introduced by developing the new tram "Toyama Light Rail". We promoted a compact city with a centralized base.

　The treatise recapsulates the process, background, and aims that led to these policies.
・ It is necessary to change the idea of ​​evaluating iron tracks based only on business profitability.
・ It is necessary to have a system of a country like Europe where local governments set the level of public transportation and take certain responsibilities.
・ Public expenditure on railway tracks by local governments should be actively implemented
・ A system is needed in which local governments take the initiative in creating long-term cities centered on public transportation.
-It is recommended.
The peer-reviewed committee of Practical Policy Studies evaluates that "the background and aim of introducing LRT is beneficial to traffic community development practitioners nationwide."
