One of the most ambitious projects of the exhibition is the city of the future Woven City from Toyota. The municipality will be one large laboratory where scientists can test new technologies.
The company plans to build a city at the foot of Mount Fuji, 90 km from Tokyo. All vehicles in it will be unmanned and will be able to drive exclusively on hydrogen fuel cells – in the same way, according to Toyota’s plans, houses will be heated.
The area of Woven City will be 70.8 hectares, all the houses in it will be built of wood, and solar panels will be installed on their roofs. The main idea of the engineers is to create a city that will not be built around transport, but primarily for pedestrians. The streets of Woven City will be clearly divided into pedestrian and transport zones, and in addition to scientists and engineers, ordinary people will be able to live in it.
From my personal point of view, I think that this technology will change the world and contribute to human history. Also, all other companies should follow Toyota’s example to make our world become the future. If you have some words to say, please do not hesitate to leave comments below

Too high of a scale I would say?
Interesting topic, any approximate financial figures of how much would it cost Toyota to build such a town?
It’s a pretty promising project, but it’s also might be pretty expensive. To build such a city Toyota must be having a big starting capital or at least highly motivated investors.
This is a very good idea for both people and the environment. However, it will be very expensive.
This is another attempt to make a sustainable and eco-city. The project itself is really promising. Let’s see what they get out of it 🙂
