Kapolei is a master-planned city in Honolulu County, Hawaii, United States, on the island of Oahu. It is colloquially known as the "second city" of Oahu,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Skyscraper Source Media )〕 in relation to Honolulu. The community takes its name from a volcanic cone, ''Puu o Kapolei''. In the Hawaiian language, ''puu'' means "hill" and ''Kapo lei'' means "beloved Kapo". According to legend, Kapo was sister to Pele. Much of the land is part of the estate of industrialist James Campbell. Kapolei's major developer is Kapolei Property Development, a subsidiary of James Campbell Company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Kapolei Property Development )〕 Kapolei sits primarily upon former sugarcane and pineapple fields. ==History== 〔Kapolei Urban Design Plan〕 In 1955 the Kapolei master plan was drafted and revised 3 different times beginning in 1974. In 1977 the new General Provision Plan adopted the Oahu General Plan which dubbed Kapolei "second urban center" (SUC) on the island of Oahu. In 1986 the Ewa Master Plan was revised to include the SUC and the initial residential construction in the Kapolei area began in the late 1980s with commercial developments springing up shortly thereafter. Nearly two decades later, in 2006 the Kapolei area had more than 800 companies, agencies, and organizations making up approximately 25,000 jobs. As of the 2010 census, the Kapolei CDP had a population of 15,186 people. The original development objectives for the City of Kapolei were to include: an employment center, a new center for offices and businesses, a center for government offices, a city of people walking, biking, or bussing, the latest energy efficient technologies such as water conservation and recycling, and the most efficient connectivity for commuting on Oahu. In essence a "smart city". The design plan for development ensures that the 7 themes of Kapolei remain the same throughout its construction. These include 1. Hawaiian Garden City 2. Healthy Living 3. Complete Community Services 4. Pedestrian friendly 5. Past/Present/Future design architecture 6. Sustainability 7. Technology. Kapolei is quickly becoming the second urban center of Oahu, Hawaii's most densely populated island. Much of Oahu's future population growth is projected for the Kapolei area, Ewa Plain, and southern slopes of the island's central valley, between Waipahu near Pearl Harbor and Wahiawa near the island's center. The U.S. postal code for Kapolei is 96707. In 2002, ''Pacific Business News'' reported that 96707 had the second highest median income on the island of Oahu, at $62,303. ''Sperlings's Best Places'' reports Kapolei median income of $70,129, compared to the national average of $42,350. Nearly one household in five has income exceeding $100,000, with a home ownership rate of 70%. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kapolei, Hawaii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
