飛鳥田革新市政を支えた三人衆がいました、企画調整室主幹の鳴海正泰、同室企画調整部長の田村明そして同室都市科学研究室長の松本得三です。三人共にすでに鬼籍に入っていますが、三人が後世の人々に残した思い入れと情熱は現在もかすかに存在しています。三人の中で、朝日新聞記者から転出した松本得三は、ひとり一人の市民を大事にする自治体行政を目指しました。田村が中心となる企画調整室で、実証的データに基づいた行政を推進する都市科学研究室の初代室長に1971年6月就任しました。その過程で、自らも一人の市民として、市民生活に対する分析的視点をもつ行政職員の育成を目指し、多くの若手職員に慕われました。この度、松本に関わる方々に当時の思い出と田村たちが目指した企画調整機能とは何か、を語っていただきました。また、松本に関わる文献も掲載しました。当NPOのwebsiteを是非訪れてください。https://www.machi-initiative.com/research-materials/の「企画調整機能」をクリックしてください。
Do you know Tokuzo Matsumoto?
There were three men who supported Mayor Asukada's liberal city administration: Masayasu Narumi, the deputy head of the Planning and Coordination Department, Akira Tamura, the head of the Planning and Coordination Section of the Department, and Tokuzo Matsumoto, the head of the Urban Science Research Section of the Department. All three are now deceased, but the philosophy and passion they left behind for future generations still faintly exist today. Of the three, Tokuzo Matsumoto, a former reporter for the Asahi Shimbun, aimed to create a local government administration that cared for every citizen. In June 1971, he became the first head of the Urban Science Research Section, which promoted an administration based on empirical data for the Planning and Coordination Department led by Tamura. In the process, as a citizen himself, he aimed at fostering administrative staff with an analytical perspective on citizens' daily lives, and was admired by many young staff. We have asked people involved in Matsumoto’s activities to share their memories of those days and what the planning and coordination function was that Tamura and his colleagues were aiming for. We have also included some material related to Matsumoto. Please visit the website of our NPO.
