Central city areas are in decline due to population decline and the concentration of population in metropolitan areas. Nevertheless, revitalizing central city areas remains a challenge for local cities. In this paper, we analyzed the projects implemented in the basic plan and conducted a questionnaire survey. The results show that the central city revitalization system lacks support for soft projects and imposes a heavy administrative burden. Its enhancement would make it easier for local governments to use the system and create a continuous bustling atmosphere.
