Smart City: Co-Creating with Citizens Social Cooperation Research Departments

Smart city: Co-Creating with Citizens

Research center for advanced science and technology created new social cooperation program for the citizen-oriented smart cities, together with Meidensha Corporation and Mitsubishi UFJ research and consulting Co.Ltd. Although several cities in the world try to implement the smart city program using the digital technologies, we believe that its final purpose is to increase the citizen’s quality of life and their well-being. We don’t strongly think that the smart city is not solely the implementation of the emerging technologies.
Based on this theory, we contextualize the artificial intelligence and bigdata as the mean for the realization of the smart city and we aim at fostering the citizens, who actively think and act for the regional development. We attempt to do it in Numazu city and together with them, we explore another possibility for the smart city in terms of its methodology and practice.
