発行が途絶えて久しい『調査季報』が復活した。同時に『市民生活白書2026』も発行された。嬉しいニュースである。山中竹春市政が二期目に入って、本来あるべき「市民目線」を具体化するツールが復活したように感じる。担当している経営戦略課の若者たち（担当係長と職員2名）は知恵を絞りながら、かつて中川久美子たちが意図した政策支援センターなきあとも、その意思を継ぐべく「市民生活にとって重要な課題や行政の施策について、横浜市職員、市民、専門家が誌上で意見を発表し、討論・交流する政策研究誌（市websiteより）」を復活した。田村明の存在を知り憧れをもって横浜市に入った職員もいるようだ。市民生活白書2026もよいものに仕上がっている。このニュースを伝えてくれたのは都市デザイン室の友人からであった。ＮＰＯ田村明研究会をやっている身として、なんとも嬉しくなるニュースであった。
The "Quarterly Policy Journal (Chosa Kihou)," which had been out of publication for a few years, has been revived. At the same time, the "Citizens' Life White Paper 2026" has also been published. This is wonderful news. With Mayor Yamanaka Takeharu's second term under his leadership, it feels as though a tool to embody the "citizen's perspective" that should be there has been revived. The young people in charge of the Management Strategy Division (the section chief and two staff members) have racked their brains and, even after the demise of the policy support center that Nakagawa Kumiko and others had intended, have revived the "Quarterly Policy Journal in which Yokohama city officials, citizens, and experts can publish their opinions, discuss, and exchange ideas on important issues and administrative policies for citizens' lives (quoted from the city's website)." It seems that some officials joined Yokohama City out of admiration for Tamura Akira. The Citizens' Life White Paper 2026 has become also a well-made publication. I was informed of this news by a friend in the City Urban Design Section. As a person who runs the NPO Tamura Akira Research Group, this was truly wonderful news.
