■About the Cabinet Office's Super City Concept and "Super City Open Lab"
The Cabinet Office's special page on the Super City concept states that the basic concept of Super City is as follows
① The concept is not a demonstration experiment limited to individual fields, such as automated driving or renewable energy, but rather an initiative that covers a wide range of activities in all aspects of daily life, such as complete cashless payment, once-only administrative procedures, distance education and telemedicine, and full use of automated driving in the region
② The initiatives should not be temporary demonstration experiments, but should be implemented in our daily lives and society, with the aim of realizing the "desired future" lifestyle that can be realized around 2030
③ Furthermore, it is an effort to realize a better life from the residents' perspective, not from the providers' or engineers' perspective
This is what we call "Marugoto Mirai Toshi" (Super City).
(Super City Explanation, https://www.chisou.go.jp/tiiki/kokusentoc/supercity/openlabo/supercitycontents.html)
The "Super City" concept is an initiative in which the local community, businesses, and the national government work together to realize the "Marugoto Future City" as described above. The "SuperCity OpenLab" was established by the Cabinet Office and companies working on the "SuperCity" concept in order to realize the "SuperCity" concept.
