Tokyo is the largest city on the planet. It is also the political, economic and cultural heart of Japan, one of the world’s largest and most technologically advanced economies. How is this remarkable metropolis planning to face the future?

Tokyo faces many challenges. In terms of climate change, how can it prepare for more frequent extreme weather events, including floods and heatwaves. How will demographic ageing affect the city in terms of service provision, tax burdens or land use? Economically, how can Tokyo maintain  international competitiveness?

Dr Ichikawa has been tasked to help develop Tokyo’s long-term plan. In this lecture, he will cover Tokyo’s past and present development, and how current planning will address future challenges. Policy topics will include sustainable development, compact hub cities, adaptation to climate change, international business centre development, inter-/intra-urban transport connectivity, and the adoption of new technologies such as AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
