The “FutureCity” initiative is a national project to create robust cities by comprehensively addressing 

environmental issues and diverse social issues such as a super‐aging population. 

Yokohama was designated as FutureCity by the Japanese government in December 2011. 

A “Y‐PORT Workshop” was held to exchange information on overseas business expansion through the Y‐PORT project. Proposals for urban solutions using the technologies and products of Yokohama companies  in  the development projects of emerging  cities  such as  those under  consideration  for Danang, Vietnam, and Cebu, the Philippines, were introduced with the goal of combining simple yet highly‐rated technologies or products with Yokohama company products that have proven popular overseas (sold or supplied) in order to form package solutions to urban issues. On‐site surveys such as those planned for Danang and Cebu were also  introduced. This was followed by a  lively time of networking and discussion among the speakers and attendees. 

In the seminar, departments of the ADB and affiliated stakeholders from cities around the world introduced  the Water Operators  Partnership  (WOP),  a  cooperative  program  pairing mentors  and beneficiaries  that  aims  to  promote  capacity  building  and  knowledge‐sharing  of water  operators supported by the ADB. Other endeavors showcased  in the seminar  include the cooperative efforts between the ADB and the City of Yokohama toward solving urban problems and the initiatives of the Office  of  Public‐Private  Partnership.  After  the  seminar,  a  networking  session  was  held  where participants exchanged views on these topics. 

      Urban development experts of the World Bank, together with local and international experts and representatives of cities around the world, discussed the methodology of smart city implementation in  cities  in  various  levels  of  development,  and  the  results  obtained.  The  Executive  Director  of Development Cooperation of  the  International Affairs Bureau of Yokohama, Mr. Hashimoto, was a panelist  for  Session  3  titled  “Beyond  service  delivery:  how  smart  cities  can  trigger  innovation, competitiveness and job creation”.
