The Japanese car giant Toyota announced at the CES 2020 Consumer Electronics Show that it plans to build a prototype for the city of the future called Woven City on an area of 175 hectares of land at the foot of the Japanese Fuji Mountain, so that the city of the future becomes fully connected to the hydrogen environmental fuel cell.
Woven City is a living and home lab for dedicated residents and researchers who will be able to test and develop realistic technologies like self-control, robots, personal mobility, smart homes and artificial intelligence in the real world. ,

Toyota President Akio Toyoda said: Building an entire city from scratch, to such a simple problem, represents a unique opportunity to develop future technologies, including digital operating systems for urban infrastructure.
"We will be able to test and improve the functions of connected artificial intelligence in the physical and physical world through data and sensors, by all people, buildings and vehicles that communicate with each other."
Although the Japanese company is known for its cars, it has more experience in the field of robotics and personal mobility, and Toyota says it will invite business partners, academics and researchers from all over the world to the city that can hold up to 2000 people, including Toyota employees.

Toyota Motor announced at the beginning of 2021 that it would start work on the base and commissioned the Danish architect Barkark Ingels (CEO of Bjarke Ingels) to plan well-known projects like the World Trade Center in New York and Google Mountain View.
The master plan for the woven city includes:
- The three types of streets include specific types of users, including express vehicle streets and streets for low-speed passenger cars such as bicycles, scooters, and a third pedestrian street only. This is how these methods represent self-examination tests.
- The building will be mainly made of wood to reduce carbon emissions, which makes the city completely sustainable through the use of traditional Japanese building technology and automated production.
- The roof is covered with solar panels. In addition to the energy generated from hydrogen fuel cells, solar energy is also generated, and there are local stations and hydroponics throughout the city.
- These homes include automatic assistants and sensors that are used to validate residents' health, needs and daily lives.
- Only autonomous and emissions-free cars are allowed to drive on major roads, while Toyota electronic license plates are used for transportation, delivery and retail.
- A large central theme park and theme park will be created for social gatherings in every Toyota area, because Toyota believes that promoting interpersonal communication will also be an important aspect of this experience.
