Smart JAMP study
Ⅰ.Overview
The three organizations of Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and The Council for Area Development and Management of Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho have formed the "OMY Area Smart City Promotion Consortium" in the OMY district, and the public and private sectors are working together to promote smart cities.
Name: Otemachi / Marunouchi / Yurakucho district (commonly known as OMY Area)
Area: About 120ha
Employed population: About 280,000 people
Private sector: About 4300 offices
Ⅱ.Goals and smart city vision
It describes the vision in the "City Development Guidelines" of the OMY district. To achieve this "City development goal", we will work on a vision-oriented smart city. (We understand the direction of the value that will be dramatically increased by smart cities in the OMY area. We are working on smart cities by regarding the issues "Issues that have become apparent", "Expansion of potential in everyday and extraordinary situations" and "Increasing resilience", which are "developmental issues in the area," as issues that should be resolved.)
In addition, another characteristic of the smart city in the OMY Area is that the Area is promoting the "updating and redesigning of existing cities" for the mature society that Japan is facing through "Public Private Partnership and Area Management."

III. The selling point of the project
MCSCC smart cities are projects led by the private sector. This smart city project has the feature of being "problem-solving type". Most of the existing smart city projects are targeted at cities and are technology-oriented efforts.
The smart city project in MCSCC is Rural support. Rural support can identify challenges in the community.
It implements "selecting the optimal technology" and "a shared system for intercity cooperation information" in order to solve the problems of the local community that requires Laurel support. This is MCSCC's basic policy.
MCSCC is participating in the project in Bali EV Special Zone, Indonesia, utilizing the "Project Feasibility Study Project for Overseas Expansion of High Quality Infrastructure" commissioned by the Japanese government.
The smart city project development by MCSCC is an application of the semiconductor development method and has a high affinity with cyberspace.
Saitama City is located about 30 km north of central Tokyo.
There are Shinkansen stations that operate in six directions, and it is a transportation hub that connects to many railways.
It is an exchange base for "people, goods, and information" that connects various areas of eastern Japan with the metropolitan area and plays a central role in "cooperation with eastern Japan."
With a population of over 1.33 million, it is the 9th most populous city in Japan.

Ⅰ. Overview
Yokohama is a large city that is home to over 3.7 million people. Its population is the largest in Japan, and its total area is about 435 square kilometers. The Port of Yokohama gives the city a key role in the Tokyo metropolitan area as an international trading port representing Japan.
Ⅱ. Issues and Approaches for Solutions
A large proportion of Yokohama’s tax revenue is made up of individual municipal taxes. Therefore, attracting industry to the city and increasing corporate tax revenue are urgent issues. The City of Yokohama’s Y-PORT (Yokohama Partnership of Resources and Technologies) program promotes international cooperation for the purpose of addressing urban issues in other countries. In addition, the City of Yokohama provides support to encourage companies in the city to participate in overseas infrastructure business, aiming to revitalize the Yokohama economy by increasing orders from companies in the city.
Ⅲ. Y-PORT Project Features (Yokohama’s Strengths)
The main target area of the Y-PORT program is the Asia-Pacific region.
In this region, the use of digital technology is rapidly advancing at the same time as the progress of urbanization, and the need for smart city development is increasing.
In addition, due to a growing awareness of the spread of infectious diseases and the threat of climate change, there is an ever-increasing demand for contribution to the achievement of the SDGs and decarbonization in international business.
The Y-PORT program promotes offering the City of Yokohama’s administrative know-how and the excellent technologies and services of companies in the city as a package deal to meet the local needs in the ASEAN region.
We are promoting the realization of overseas development of smart cities by providing “Yokohama City solutions" utilizing public funds from the national government and development aid agencies.
