<Aim>

The 1964 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics sped up the city planning of post-war Tokyo at an incredible rate, creating a "mobility city" centered around the new Shuto Expressway network. After half-a-century, the evolution of cars is changing the relationship between lifestyles and cities, and Tokyo is currently going through a great change itself. Tokyo is destined to become the global model for a future mobility city, "SMART MOBILITY CITY". Come together and discuss hopes and dreams for cars, lifestyles and cities of the future.
