Why Japan is Building a $10BN Smart City Experiment

Summary

Toyota is investing $1 billion in Woven City, an experimental smart city at the foot of Mount Fuji designed to address urban challenges like congestion, pollution, and sustainability.

The project’s success hinges on whether it can balance innovation with real human needs and desires.
