Toyota has built a fully functioning Japanese city to use as a laboratory
Briefly

Launched in 2024, Woven City, near Mount Fuji, serves as a unique urban experiment. Completed Phase 1 accommodates 360 residents, mainly Toyota employees and their families, with plans for 2,000. This innovative city blends mobility, digital infrastructure, and social interaction. Unlike typical smart cities, Woven City acts as an 'urban operating system,' focusing on real-time learning and adaptation through data and resident feedback. It embodies Toyota's kaizen philosophy, bringing diverse demographics together to ensure an inclusive approach to community building, enhancing its relevance and effectiveness as an urban prototype.
Woven City is an urban laboratory designed to learn and adapt through real-world data, empowering residents to actively co-create their living environment.
The project reflects Toyota's kaizen philosophy, emphasizing continuous improvement and integrating feedback from a diverse range of residents.
