Motorvervaardiger Toyota het talle verras met Woven City, ‘n hoofsaaklik motorlose stad wat die maatskappy aan die basis van Berg Fuji bou. Later vanjaar trek die eerste 100 inwoners na Woven City. Die internasionaal erkende argitekfirma BIG het die huise ontwerp wat hoofsaaklik van hout gebou word. Toyota se planne vir die slimstad is in 2020 bekendgemaak.
Akio Toyoda, die voorsitter van Toyota het verduidelik dat die projek waarskynlik ‘n verlies van inkomste gaan behels, maar dat Toyota ‘n verantwoordeliheid het om in die kollektiewe toekoms van mense te investeer. Toyota wil deel wat die maatskappy reeds as ‘n besigheid saam met ander geleer het en wil nuwe idees ondersteun wat tot voordeel van die aarde en samelewings is. Volgens Toyoda is Woven City ‘n lewende laboratorium waar die inwoners vrywillige deelnemers is en verskeie ontwerpers die geleentheid kry om hulle idees binne ‘n veilige, maar lewensvatbare konteks te toets.
Verskeie lande is besig om nuwe slimstede te bou of om stede te verander deur tegnologies gevorderde en data-gedrewe ekosisteme te skep wat die lewenskwaliteit van mense verhoog.
Die beplande Adam Tas Korridor demonstreer verskeie kenmerke van ‘n volhoubare en inklusiewe modern stad. Soos die Adam Tas-beplanning aandui, verduidelik die MIT Technology Review dat die beplanning van slimstede ook die potensiële sjarme van die stadslewe moet beskerm. Tegnologie moet sorg dat minder tyd deur pendel in beslag geneem word, dat bekostigbare behuisingsprojekte begin word en dat publieke vervoer-opsies in plek gestel word om by te dra tot verlaagde uitlaatgasse. Alternatiewe vir motors wat ook minder besoedeling tot gevoel het, is nodig.

Innovation City, is ‘n gemengde gebruik en innovasie-stad wat op 60 hektaar binne die grense van Kigali beplan word. Hierdie slimstad binne ‘n stad sluit vier universiteite, kantoorruimtes, besigheids-inkubators, asook kleinhandel, akkommodasie en toerisme in.

Carmaker Toyota surprised many with Woven City, a mainly car-free city that the company is building at the base of Mount Fuji. This year the first 100 citizens will move to Woven City. Renowned architect BIG designed the houses that are mostly made from wood. The plans for the smart city were announced in 2020.
The chairperson of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, said Toyota will likely lose money with the Woven City project, but that “Toyota has a responsibility to invest in our collective future, to share what we’ve learned with others, and support new ideas that benefit the planet and its people.” Woven City is “a living laboratory where the residents are willing participants, giving inventors the opportunity to freely test their ideas in a secure, real-life setting.”
Many countries are implementing smart city features or are planning new cities that would be technologically advanced and data-driven with a citizen-focussed urban eco-system.
In Stellenbosch the planned Adam Tas Corridor displays many features of a sustainable and inclusive modern city. Like the Adam Tas plans, the MIT Technology Review states that smart city designs should respect the potential charm of city life. Technology should focus on ways to shorten commute times, speed the construction of affordable housing, allow for efficient public transport and reduce carbon emissions by providing less polluting transportation alternatives to the car.
