decided to implement "universal design" in all public facilities and amenities and to encourage private businesses to do the same. The idea is to provide barrier-free access to people with disabilities and the elderly and to make information and consultation in multiple languages available to foreign residents and visitors. This was launched with a public education campaign that included units in the public schools. One of the themes of the project was something like, "Yes, maybe you don't need these considerations now, but most likely, you'll grow old some day, and you may become disabled, so don't go around saying that it's a waste because you don't need it."
