A couple of days back at CES 2020, Toyota announced its plans to build a futuristic prototype city powered by hydrogen fuel cells on a 175-acre site at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan.

Dubbed Woven City, the Japanese automaker aims to create a fully connected ecosystem for researchers to build and develop the technologies of the future. In short, consider it as a dedicated futuristic incubation center with residence and all amenities.

Researchers at Woven City will be mainly focusing on cutting-edge technologies including autonomy, robotics, personal mobility, smart homes, and AI. “With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through data and sensors, we will be able to test connected AI technology,” said Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation in a prepared statement.

The name Woven City emphasizes the co-existence of three street designs in the city. According to Toyota, there will be three types of streets - a street dedicated for faster vehicles, another one for a mix of lower speed vehicles and pedestrians, and a 'park-like promenade' dedicated to pedestrians.

Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and his team are responsible for the design of Woven City. In case you're unaware, Mr. Ingels' team is known for its remarkable projects including 2 World Trade Center in New York, Lego House in Denmark, and Google’s Mountain View and London headquarters.

Toyota welcomes interested scientists and researchers to collaborate in this project. If you're interested to be part of the project, you may reach out to the team by filling out the form here: https://www.woven-city.global
