The original version of the article has a number of corrections due to typesetting errors and corrected in this version.

Under the section “Analysis of SDGs mainstreaming in two “SDGs Future Cities””, the sentence “The following sections’, as these section numbers are gone when reflected in the journal format present a comparative analysis of the results for each category shown in Tables 4 and 5…” should have read as “The following sections present a comparative analysis of the results for each category shown in Tables 4 and 5…”.

In Table 5 of this article, some texts were published incorrectly under the columns Kitakyushu (city), Shimokawa (town) and corrections are listed below.

  • The text in the column “Kitakyushu (city)” headed 1.2 Political leadership, the following sentence “`the SDGs for Regional Revitalization Public–Private Partnership Platform)” should have read as ““the SDGs for Regional Revitalization Public–Private Partnership Platform”).

  • The text in the column “Shimokawa (town)” headed 2.5 Vertical institutional coordination, the following sentence “the localization of SDGs” should have read as “the localization of the SDGs”.

  • The text in the column “Shimokawa (town)” headed 2.2 Multi-stakeholder involvement in project implementation, the following sentence “The Centre is planning to proactively develop’, since the activity of Partnership Centre is still under development partnerships with stakeholders,” should have read as “The Centre is planning to proactively develop partnerships with stakeholders,”.

  • The text in the column “Kitakyushu (city)” headed 2.5 Local governments engage in awareness raising and outreach activities, the following sentence “…participate in activities to promote SDGs” should have read as “…participate in activities to promote the SDGs”.

  • The text in the column “Shimokawa (town)” headed 2.5 Local governments engage in awareness raising and outreach activities, the following sentence “A treasure hunt focusing thematically on SDGs…” should have read as “… A treasure hunt focusing thematically on the SDGs…”.

Under the section, “Availing of existing policy resources linked to formal procedures”, on second paragraph, the following sentence “…Shimokawa’s government applied the existing ordinance and Comprehensive Plan and the monitoring and review system to accommodate the SDGs,…” should have read “…Shimokawa’s government applied the existing ordinance and Comprehensive Plan and the monitoring and review system to accommodate the SDGs.…”.

The reference of International Council for Science (2017) contains the word “Doi” incorrectly. The correct reference should read as “International Council for Science (2017) A guide to SDG interactions: from science. https://council.science/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/SDGs-Guide-to-Interactions.pdf”.

In addition, the reference “Lafferty W (2003)” should have read “Lafferty W, Hovden E (2003)”. The correct reference should read “Lafferty W, Hovden E (2003) Environmental policy integration: towards an analytical framework. Environ Polit 12:1–22. https://doi.org/10.1080/09644010412331308254
