Asia Smart City Conference 2015

The City of Yokohama, which is selected as “Future City” by Cabinet Office, has been holding the Asia Smart City Conference every year since 2012 as part of the Y-PORT project, in which the City of Yokohama accelerates overseas operations of companies based in Yokohama and shares its know-how on smart cities.
Participated by not only 21 Asian cities but also more than 30 supporting agencies including the Government of Japan, academic institutions and private enterprises, the conference was a great success. A wealth of expertise and knowledge infused into the discussion made the conference all the more significant. “Yokohama Declaration” which we wrapped up the discussion at the conference was adopted by the participants, and the declaration was proposed to the Chair’s Summary of the 6th Asia Pacific Urban Forum (APUF-6) of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific held in Jakarta, Indonesia on October 21st.
