Abstract

In this chapter, I will analyze initiatives of the Yokohama Smart CommunityYokohama Smart Community , which is currently conducting demonstration experiments of a smart citySmart city project aimed at achieving a low-carbon societyLow-carbon society . Promoting the development of an energy system “learned from a view of life found in nature,” the Yokohama Smart CommunityCommunity formed a consortiumConsortium comprised of participating companies, universities and local government to put into practice a range of innovative initiatives. A characteristic feature of this consortium is the absence of a specific leader. This is because the Yokohama Smart Community is not a consortium formed by a particular leader to promote a specific initiative to be implemented under that individual’s or organization’s leadership. Moreover, while the local government of the city of Yokohama is involved, it is purely in an advisory capacity, so the Yokohama Smart CommunityYokohama Smart Community does not have the character of a government-led project. Therefore, the participating members voluntarily take part in the consortium as they wish without being subject to any explicit or implicit restrictions or constraints of another organization, and they are free to withdraw at any time.
