Production green space is farmland designated by municipalities to preserve green space that remains in urban areas.

Conditions for recognition as productive green space

Productive green spaces are not necessarily designated just because they are located within urbanized areas. They must meet the following requirements.

  • The land is currently farmland and will continue to be farmland in the future.

  • The area must be 500 m2 or larger (300 m2 or larger in some municipalities).

  • It is recognized that the conditions are in place to enable the continuation of agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

  • The consent of all landowners is required.

Land that meets these conditions and is designated by the city, town or village in which it is located becomes productive green space.

・There is an obligation to continue farming for at least 30 years (farming obligation).
・Prohibition of new construction, renovation, and expansion of buildings and structures.

Benefits of productive green space
