Japanese AI scientist Kenmaru Suedomi, founder of Waseda AI Lab and a World Economic Forum Global Shaper, is singing praises for China's tech-forward urban planning after visiting the Xiong'an New Area. The 'city of the future,' as he calls it, left him inspired by its blend of public-private collaboration and human-centric design.
During the 2024 Future Close-Up program—a youth exchange initiative—Suedomi explored how China is building smart cities that prioritize residents' needs. 🌆🤝 "Seeing real-time environmental monitoring and AI-driven infrastructure here makes me hopeful Japan can adopt similar models," he told CGTN in Beijing.
His biggest takeaway? China's ability to fuse innovation with practicality. From green energy systems to tech-powered public services, Suedomi believes Xiong'an could become a blueprint for sustainable urban living worldwide. 💻🌱
