Impressive scale – 60,000 participants! But I wonder if these conferences actually lead to real action or just photo ops. The G-net idea sounds promising, but past global summits often end with vague promises. Hope Tokyo’s plan has concrete targets, especially for resilience in developing nations like us. 🤔
AI + Robotics + Resilience = the trinity for future cities! Tokyo is setting a benchmark. That lithium battery recycling tech from BATX is brilliant – we generate so much e-waste in India, this could be a game-changer. Governments should fund more such startups. 👏
As someone working in urban planning, I appreciate the focus on resilience. But 55 cities is a start – what about smaller, vulnerable cities in Asia and Africa? They need these networks too. The entertainment track feels a bit out of place though – maybe it’s to attract youth? Overall, promising direction. 🌏
Japan’s tech prowess + India’s scrappy innovation = perfect combo! BATX’s battery recycling could help both countries reduce reliance on China for rare earths. The G-net idea sounds like a UN-lite, but if Koike can get 55 mayors to actually sign binding agreements, it’ll be historic. Let’s see action points. 🤞
Love the collaborative spirit! But one critique: where’s the representation from South Asia’s grassroots? Indian cities like Chennai or Mumbai have real resilience stories (flood management, cyclone preparedness). Hope future SusHi Tech includes them, not just startups.
