Open Yokohama Turns City Politics Into Seven Concrete Questions
A civic data project that lets Yokohama residents examine policy choices, public finances, and neighborhood change through official sources.
Field notes
The project organizes local policy around seven explicit questions rather than presenting a general news feed. Its data layer reports Yokohama’s population and household totals with an August 1, 2026 reference date, then offers comparable pages for all 18 wards. The homepage also points readers toward source links, definitions, update information, an error-reporting route, and developer/MCP resources. Open Yokohama identifies itself as an unofficial citizen-run open-source project and labels the site as a public beta.
