A futuristic smart city called Woven City is being built at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Labelled a ‘living laboratory’ for new technologies it is being developed by Toyota subsidiary, Woven Planet, and will be the world’s first programmable city.
As well as being a testing ground for smart solutions it will also become home to 2000 residents who will get the chance to live somewhere that is being designed to allow humans and nature to live their best lives.
“Our approach is driven by three unwavering principles: Human-Centered respect and prioritisation of people’s needs and preferences; Living Laboratory which enables seamless real-world testing of new technologies; and an Ever-Evolving approach by which such new technologies and services continuously grow and improve,” the Woven City website says.
