Since we entered the 21st century, such issues as global warming, resource depletion, urban crowding, economic disparities, and aging have come to the fore. The common need of all nations is to resolve these issues to ensure social sustainability. In cities around the world, people want their cities to overcome all these challenges.

We have undertaken feasibility studies and experiments worldwide for building next-generation cities as part of our Social Innovation Business. We have also started projects in health care—essential in an aging Japan.
