*1: Aiming to realize “Smart Tokyo,” which draws out Tokyo’s potential through the power of digital, we are promoting the implementation of services that utilize data and cutting-edge technology in the city, and we have built these services in advance implementation areas such as central Tokyo and Nishi-Shinjuku. A project to be implemented from 2023 to spread the results of City OS efforts throughout Tokyo. *2: A data platform that collects and analyzes data about city facilities and people, and makes it possible to create new services using that data.

In this demonstration, we will utilize railway operation data and human flow data to target Takanawa Gateway Station and blocks in the Shinagawa Konan area.
We aim to solve social issues in cities by working to “prevent chaos by smoothly guiding people who are unable to return home to
evacuation” during emergencies, and “alleviating urban congestion by creating demand for overnight stays” during normal times.
Furthermore, in the future, we aim to improve the ease of movement between areas, stay satisfaction, and QoL.

2 About future prospects
Through demonstration experiments, we will jointly study the design concept and basic functions of the city OS necessary for data linkage between TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY and the Shinagawa Konan area, and we will create a new area that integrates the area’s facilities by collaborating with the area around Shinagawa Station, which is undergoing development. We aim to implement a smart city model.
