Social Challenges Require Technologies to Resolve

• As articulated by SDGs and the WE, it has become increasingly evident that the human kind is faced with multiple challenges that

are intertwined.

• The latest technologies, e.g., AI, IoT, robotics, Big Data, and 5G, as typically leveraged in Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0, seem to be the

“last resort” to tackle these challenges human kind has faced today.

GOAL - SDGｓ MEANS - Society 5.0

Enhanced National Strategic Special Zone

◼ Designed to fast-track regulatory changes necessary for implementing super cities.

◼ On the condition that citizens consensus exists regarding local policies for designing and implanting “super cities,” local authorities should be able to override national laws and regulations and introduce a locally designed laws and regulation for their own.

20

Super City in Summary

◼ Showcase “holistic future state” of cities in Japan in 2030

◼ Shift from silo-based approach to platform-based approach

◼ Use integrative reference architecture to efficiently enable data interoperability

◼ PPPP as fundamental means to achieve citizen needs-based governance

◼ Enhance national strategic special zone to facilitate implementation of new technologies

◼ At least initially, only about 5 cities will be named as “super cities”

◼ Accept both brown- and green-field approaches from all over Japan

◼ Legislation expected in effect spring next year (cabinet decision completed)
