Wen / Xie Zhicheng (chairman of the Rural Development Foundation of the consortium)

In order to solve the crisis of uneven development of urban population density and population loss in local villages, since 2009, the Ministry of General Affairs has put forward the "outline of Regional Revitalization Cooperation team" to attract urbanites to move to the countryside and finally settle down. In December 2012, Abe took office for a second time. In order to save Japan's economic predicament that had been silent for many years, Abe put forward the policy of "encouraging the regeneration of local small economic circles" (local creation) (Japanese: local economic creation) in his Abenomics, and decided to raise local creation to the overall national strategic level, with the goal of establishing a local creation relationship in which "region, talent, and work" are developing in a circular way.

In law, the Law on the creation of Town, talents and work, and the Law on Regional Regeneration have been passed successively, which serve as the legal basis for the promotion of relevant policies. In terms of organization, a "town, talent, and work creation headquarters" was set up in the Cabinet Office, where the Prime Minister personally served as the minister, and a new post of "local creative minister" was set up, which was responsible for the full promotion of the local creation policy.

In terms of policy, the so-called "three arrows of local creation" are put forward: the arrow of intelligence support (the establishment of a regional economic analysis system), the arrow of talent support (including regional active evangelists, local gatekeepers, local creative colleges, local creative internship system, talent support for local creation, etc.), and the arrow of financial support.
