"Smart City"

Explain the meaning of smart city.

What is a smart city?

A smart city is a city or region that has been made sustainable by utilizing advanced technologies such as ICT (information and communication technology). ICT is used to manage urban planning, development, management, and operation, and to optimize the overall system.

The purpose of smart cities is to solve various problems facing cities. By actively introducing IoT, AI, robots, big data analysis, and other technologies, they aim to improve the efficiency of urban infrastructure such as energy supply, traffic and transportation systems, and public services, as well as to resolve issues such as easing traffic congestion, securing energy, and environmental conservation. Smart cities are also expected to prevent a decline in social welfare services due to a declining birthrate and aging population, and to contribute to resolving labor shortages.

Efforts to realize smart cities are underway in countries around the world. Examples in Japan include "Toyota Woven City" in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture, "Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City" in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, "DATA-SMART CITY SAPPORO" in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, and "Smart City Saitama Model" in Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture.
