Tottori's 2nd largest city cannot afford to maintain its public buildings
Yonago City in Tottori Prefecture is facing a looming crisis as the city’s finances cannot cover the growing maintenance bill required for its ageing public buildings.
It was estimated that the maintenance and reconstruction costs for its 1,282 city-owned buildings would amount to 215.4 billion Yen (2.1 billion USD) over the next 40 years.
