According to its mayor, it is a "model, modern city of citizen autonomy". Kadokawa explained how Kyoto was cleaned up by its citizens. He told Modi that local students actively participated in cleaning up the city and reducing the garbage to 40%. Posters and billboards were discouraged, he said, adding that this exercise has been going on for several years. After meeting Kadokawa, Modi said, “In India we plan to work to develop heritage cities and that's why I wanted to understand some things (in Kyoto).” Later, the PM left for Tokyo for summit-level talks with his counterpart Shinzo Abe.
