The City Of The Future,

today,

 at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan there lies the former Toyota car factory, 

 and it is here that one of the world’s largest car manufacturers, Toyota, announced this week that they are going to bring their vision of the future to the site,

 it is no secret that Japan has an aging population, who will presumably have to rely on autonomous driving for much of their mobility needs, which is where the car giant comes in,

naturally it is not just for the elderly, the venture is called “Woven City,” and takes its name from the 3 types of roads that are going to be woven throughout the city: one for faster vehicles, another for bikes and scooters and the last for pedestrians, in the form of a park-like promenade, at bottom of this post there is a really remarkable video showing the woven roads or paths,

the city will be home to roughly 2000 people, both Toyota employees as well as the general public, 

  and will be cleanly powered by the firm’s hydrogen fuel cell technology,

the auto giant is teaming up with Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and his firm BIG to design and build a “prototype city of the future” on the site,

Toyota expects to break ground on the project next year in 2021, You can read more about it here, so Toyota City it is then, I wonder which car company will be next to have its own  city?
