Abstract: Abstract The informatization of planning tasks has the potential of upgrading municipal authorities. Our study tries to create a Planning Information Room for municipalities—a highly informatized working environment equipped with various information technologies. Aiming at designing and realizing the Planning Information Room by planners themselves, an experimental project has been set up through cooperation between Utsunomiya city office and the authors. In the Utsunomiya experiment, a policy exercise (PE) as an application of simulation/gaming has been tried as a user-participation approach to designing and realizing the Planning Information Room. This paper focuses mainly on the issues of (1) our planning concept of a Planning Information Room and (2) the policy exercise for activating informatization of planning administration at the Utsunomiya city office.
