The world is currently facing many problems.
Population growth in emerging nations is impacting the environment, including depleting natural resources and increasing CO2 emissions.
Communities in developed nations are declining due to aging populations, and there is a need to convert to renewable energy sources to counter electricity shortages.
A common point for both developed and emerging nations is the lifestyles of urban residents,
and the key point for improvement is to make the towns smarter.
Now we are developing Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town (Fujisawa SST) in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
This joint project of both the private and public sectors involves Panasonic,
other partner companies that are developing advanced smart city initiatives, and Fujisawa City itself.
The project began with experiments on smart technologies before evolving into the unique concept of an actual smart town where as many as 1,000 households will live.
It is innovation based not simply on infrastructure,
but on the way people actually live.
Innovation designed to supply customer value in living spaces.
Innovation by creating a town management company that will continually introduce the latest services and technologies to ensure the town's sustainability.
The “Fujisawa model” is a revolutionary town-creation scheme that will bring energy to life, enhancing people's lives with solar power, security, mobility, community, and healthcare. Fujisawa SST is our message to people and to the world that these problems could be solved. In the spring of 2014, energy will be brought to life in a sustainable smart town that will open its doors to a new age of hope.
