Toyota’s Futuristic City Announced at the Foot of Mount Fuji Promises to Bring Dozens of New Technologies to the Global Stage. The City of the Future Has Received Investments of R$ 61 Billion and Boasts Nearly 50,000 m³.
Known as “Woven City” or simply the “City of the Future,” the new Japanese city, at the foot of Mount Fuji, created by Toyota, will select people interested in inhabiting the place, described by the company as a “living laboratory,” filled with new technologies. In this article, we will detail Toyota’s futuristic city that is capturing attention.
Futuristic City Was Presented in 2020
Toyota’s futuristic city is a laboratory because these residents will have the chance to experience new technologies impacting various areas of life, including mobility and sustainability. Scheduled for completion in Shizuoka in October 2024, Woven City has received an estimated investment of $10 billion, equivalent to R$ 61 billion.
The idea is essentially to create a City of the Future with new technologies, where innovation and technology will be at the forefront. According to the manufacturer on the project’s official website, it is redefining what it means to move.

As if a giant sponge had failed at the planet’s southern extreme, the Southern Ocean is becoming saltier, losing ice at an alarming rate, and allowing deep heat to return to the surface, in a change capable of disrupting the circulation that regulates temperature, carbon, and storms across all Earth’s oceans.

Toyota is challenging the current state of mobility by enhancing the movement of people, goods, information, and energy.
Centered on three main concepts, a living laboratory, Human-Centered, and Continuously Evolving City, the City of the Future serves as a testing ground for mobility to fulfill its purpose of well-being for all.
Toyota’s futuristic city was first presented five years ago at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s largest technology fair, organized by the Consumer Technology Association.
First Residents Will Arrive at the City of the Future in 2025
The details revealed by Toyota’s president, Akio Toyoda, describe a city of the future spanning over 48,500 m² focused on experimenting with all future technologies, such as automated driving, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Later this year, the first residents will start moving into Toyota’s futuristic city, marking the beginning of the project’s first phase.
These first residents will mostly be Toyota employees and their families. However, as the city of the future filled with new technologies progresses, the company’s expectation is that the population will reach around two thousand people.
Referred to as a living laboratory by the automaker itself, the residents of the city of the future will serve as test subjects to test and experiment with the new technologies that will be implemented on-site.
To this end, in addition to the first residents who are company employees, Toyota has already announced that it will select candidates planning to participate in the experiment and, thus, inhabit the new city. The expectation is that Toyota will soon announce how this selection will be made and who will be able to apply.
More Than 2,000 People Will Be Housed in Toyota’s Futuristic City
The company states that the population of the city of the future will reach 2,000 people, including employees and their families, retirees, shopkeepers, scientists, industry partners, entrepreneurs, and academics.
The president emphasized that even pets will be welcome. To create applicable tools in daily life, the city will encourage co-creation with its residents, referred to as “Weavers.”
The residents can use and interact with the new products and services and provide their feedback in real time to the developers. However, it is still early to define the city as an effective way to test new technologies. Innovations generated in Toyota’s futuristic city may not necessarily work in a generalized and large-scale manner.
