How Toyota is Secretly Building our Future Cities
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Historically, great cities are often founded by great leaders - Alexandria by Alexander the Great, Baghdad by Al-Mansur, or St Petersberg by Peter the Great. But in the 21st century, it may be corporations, rather than individual leaders, who found the cities of the future. Leading the charge is Japanese auto-giant Toyota.
For the past several years, the company has been laying out designs for an entire small city near the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The immediate purpose of this hyper-futuristic metropolis will be to test mobility systems - but it goes far beyond just that. Toyota says it will also be a “living laboratory,” with roads and housing for 2 thousand local residents. It will be named…Woven City.
In this episode of Looking 4, we’ll step onto the front lines of this extraordinary ongoing project.

Seems better than the line
As a kid, I imagined that the future would be just like this.
At the very least, it's a great way to repurpose an abandoned factory site
Like in the Jetsons. How interesting!
Project management we all need. cheers.
i see future cities. i subscribed
Very nice.
Cool vid, but doesn't sound like a future I want to be a part of
Hi... Indonesia now build their new capital city called Nusantara. It will be full scale city powered with clean energy, where only EV allowed to drive.
You should check it out... The first phase will be finished this year.
MashaaALLAAH i have watch the video is very Beautiful City I'm happy for you Indonesia peoples ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤From nigeria
There’s already a new, purpose built walkable community Tempe Arizona. It’s called Culdesac. It’s built at a light rail station. Mixed use, lots of paths, plants. Already lived in .
Definitely wouldn’t want to be a lab rat in that Experiment.
I’ll stick with Farming.
Cool
I like my Lexus, but this sounds like a hellscape
Transportation is a liability, not an asset for a city. In an ideal city, the less the city requires transport, the better. The ideal city should be designed around pedestrian, bicycle and Mass Transport.. not roads and individual cars.
Wow Wow Wow Thanks For Sharing This Information Congratulations This is really a Nice Job This is so Cool i really Appreciate this Video. This Video is Really Interesting ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌I'm From nigeria
A place with 2000 residents is not a city. You guys should know that.
Wow, Nice job ! I will looking 4 the future of this project on your channel
🤣 Hehe thank you my friend!
This is interesting, better than making customers pay to be alpha or beta testers in public roads everywhere, like Tesla does.
The problem with Woven is that it’s a city for employees by employees. If one accepts it as just a giant employee retreat/guest office then it’s ok. I trust Toyota quality and their vision. Look at all the EV fanboys shaming Toyota and now Tesla is no longer a respectable company. Not to mention EV sales tanking. Hydrogen may not be the best tech for the future but anything is better than oil, gas, and coal.
If you look at the model, it's only 1/5 of the area that's being developed. I'm guessing that if and when they finally figure everything out, they can easily figure out everything else and thats probably where regular residence can go.
They are building a "model village" (sociology/cultural studies).
A wise nation, so Toyota is a wise company :)
Nice thing about this plan... you have a choice and if you don't like the idea or think it's dystopian, then they probably wouldn't want you to live there anyway.
I think that the people saying it’s dystopian are just being racist. If some white people in Europe did this, they would think it’s the best thing ever, especially if it were in Scandinavia.
Suzano ???
The most reliable city on earth
This is the same basic idea and design that qalt disney tried to make iwth epcot
You know, this kinda tickles my fancy. Like I probably wouldn't feel miserable 90% of the time if I could work on something like that...? Hmmm....
Company town for company robots. Hell on Earth.
I see a giant privacy problem if your company controls all doe you have freedom? If your dressed different or party to hard you will be seen as unsuitable not only use your job but your families residents.
The company will control what you can eat.
i wonder, why they do it at the base or Mt. Fuji !
for years now the rural towns have been slowly vanishing, in japan in general,
i wonder if, toyota's plan with this is to bring life back to these rural areas, by just building a city smack-dab in the middle!
this way parents can stay in the towns, while the kids go to study / work in this futurist city!
£7.8 Billion to build for a city for only 2000 people. That’s a bargain at £3.9 Million per person
I like the idea though I'm not sure about the naming though. It's more of a large village than a city. Naming it after a Chinese organised crime gang (Triad) seems a little odd to. Still, it looks a nice place to live. Here in London, our politicians criminalise riding PEVs (electric scooters and unicycles) on the streets which shows how forward thinking we are here :(
0:15 NEOM by MBS 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Neom is stupid, it is nothing more than a publicity stunt and a tourist attraction
Money wins again. RIP. However, hopefully, a lot of the things they came up with are not buried in the corporate vaults. These concepts could prove very useful but perhaps not on earth.
A perfect home for cattle that with feelings
Our demise, complete with 3D renders.
Somewhere to sell a few Toyota Mirai Hydrogen fuel sell cars because for the last decade one else wants them
Makes up for the swift that sucked - willy 0
Will that be for humans or test guinea pigs?
perfect city for the perfect npc.s lol
I terms of automobile evolution to EVs, Toyota has fallen miles behind the likes of Tesla and the chinese - is this supposed to be a way out?
This comment hasn’t aged well. EV adoption has tanked. It’s good tech but in its current form, it’s not the future.
Japan has been losing population for 14 years. Last year alone one million. US demands a large increase in the military along with expensive US weapons.
not a city it a village .
village
village
village .
and i hate the entire consept . one power outage and everything else does to .
Where do they get people to live in there?
Did you not watch the video? Pay attention!
Welcome to japanese North Korean dystopic village ! A "city" with 360 inhabitants, how ridiculous is it. It's hardly the size of a new quarter in a town. And as you said, is it really smart to use "smart cars" whereas you can easily walk through the village ! And how useful the automatic cars will be if they are not allowed to get around the village to the other quarters of the city around ?
Genuine question, is this a computer narrator or a real person?
😴 "promo sm"
This doesn't seem like much of a secret, they made a video.
Corporations making cities is probably the most dystopian thing I’ve heard this year…this city is for the rich not for everybody else, watch
Of course not. It’s only a test bed for people who work for the company. However, in a few decades, everyone else will reap the rewards created from this project.
You never heard of a company town before?
@@D3r3k2323 TOWNS yes cities no.
The hydrogen vehicles is enough to tell me this is all just a joke
Aiming for Utopia never seems to get old. Toyota's money would be better spent studying the economic forces that have made existing cities look the way they do. Building a Utopian version without regard to the underlying economics risks digging a very deep money pit.
2000 residents, basically make nosense
So... who controls all this technology? Toyota? The Woven team who are residents and employees of Toyota? Does it ever pass on to the control of the people? If not, why not? There are far too many ethical questions about how this project will work and who is expected to ultimately benefit from it? No Capitalist group does anything because it's nice, but because it makes them money. Lots and lots of money or they don't bother.
What a disaster in the making. So idealistic no one will want it. Well maybe a few people that’s all Toyota wants
I was the biggest Toyota fanboy my whole life buying over a dozen of their cars but not anymore
they have lost me to NISSAN as I have gone EV and Toyota has FAILED ME and now I hate them for lying about EVs
Where have they lied? Far as I am aware they have always agreed that electric is the future but have disagreed on how the electric design.
Their main issue being Li-On batteries are not the correct approach in the long term and they are correct. This is way the main focus of R&D for every vehicle producer is alternatives to Li-On and hoping for a new battery technology as none of them want to use Lithium long term.
Those other companies just put the money down to capitalise on it short term and cause governments are forcing their hands to change earlier and the only current choice for them is Lithium even if they don't want it.
In case you haven’t seen the news recently, EV adoption rates have tanked. Toyota made so much money last quarter by betting on Hybrids.
I would love EV tech to improve but we aren’t there yet. If junk from BYD, there is no future for EV.
Lol. 2000 is not a city. Many developments in Vancouver have many more people than that. And they are more advanced in many ways than this.
God help us. Toyota building cities is my vision of dystopia. Got to love holier than thou megacorporations or billionaires wanting to shape how we live.
So if a group of people who you have decided to demonize does something good, it just makes them worse, because you have already decided to demonize them, so if they do it, it must be evil.
Toyota?😂😂😂😂😂, they can't even build a production EV. They're going to be bankrupt in 10 years
