During the [[Occupied Japan|American occupation]], Yokohama was a major transshipment base for American supplies and personnel, especially during the [[Korean War]]. After the occupation, most local U.S. naval activity moved from Yokohama to an American base in nearby [[Yokosuka]].

Four years after the [[Treaty of San Francisco]] signed, the city was designated by [[Cities designated by government ordinance of Japan|government ordinance]] on September 1, 1956.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} The city's tram and [[trolleybus]] system was abolished in 1972, the same year as the opening of the first line of [[Yokohama Municipal Subway]]. Construction of [[Minato Mirai 21]] ("Port Future 21"), a major urban development project on reclaimed land started in 1983, nicknamed the "[[Philadelphia]] and [[Boston]] of the Orient" was compared to [[Center City, Philadelphia]] and [[Downtown Boston]] located in the [[East Coast of the United States]]. Minato Mirai 21 hosted the Yokohama Exotic Showcase in 1989, which saw the first public operation of [[maglev train]]s in Japan and the opening of [[Cosmo Clock 21]], then the tallest [[Ferris wheel]] in the world. The {{convert|860|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} [[Yokohama Bay Bridge]] opened in the same year. In 1993, Minato Mirai 21 saw the opening of the [[Yokohama Landmark Tower]], the [[List of tallest structures in Japan|second-tallest building in Japan]].

The [[2002 FIFA World Cup]] final was held in June at the [[International Stadium Yokohama]]. In 2009, the city marked the 150th anniversary of the opening of the port and the 120th anniversary of the commencement of the City Administration. An early part in the commemoration project incorporated the Fourth [[Tokyo International Conference on African Development]] (TICAD&nbsp;IV), which was held in Yokohama in May 2008. In November 2010, Yokohama hosted the [[Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation]] (APEC) meeting.
