Toyota’s $10 billion Woven City project is on the verge of becoming a reality, with its first phase now complete.
Located on the site of a former car factory in Japan, Woven City is envisioned as a “living laboratory” where residents will test revolutionary technologies, including autonomous vehicles, robotics, smart homes, and advanced mobility solutions.
By the fall of 2025, the first group of 100 residents—Toyota employees referred to as “Weavers”—will move into the city. These residents will be instrumental in testing and refining the innovative technologies integrated into daily life. As the project evolves, the city will expand to house 360 residents and eventually accommodate up to 2,000 people.
Toyota sees Woven City as a hub for cutting-edge innovation. Some of the futuristic developments planned include motorized wheelchairs, drones designed to assist joggers, and robotic pets to support elderly residents. The city aims to foster collaboration and creativity, focusing on solutions that can enhance lives worldwide.
The project’s design is led by renowned architect Bjarke Ingels, featuring hydrogen-powered utilities to ensure sustainability. By combining technology, eco-friendly energy, and urban innovation, Woven City is poised to serve as a global model for future city development.
As the next phase of Woven City nears, Toyota’s bold initiative demonstrates its dedication to shaping how humans live, interact with technology, and embrace sustainable solutions.
