Key wellness features of the Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town (Fujisawa SST) in Japan, which is a model smart city focused on creating a sustainable and high-quality lifestyle for residents over a long-term period of 100 years.
1. Peace of Mind from Energy Security and Environmental Wellness
The core of Fujisawa SST is to be a city that uses clean and environmentally friendly energy, which directly impacts the mental wellness of residents. Every home is equipped with solar panels and energy storage systems, providing residents with "peace of mind" knowing they have access to clean energy. Importantly, the city is resilient and can sustain life even in emergencies when the main power supply is disrupted, significantly reducing daily anxiety.
2. Community Hub for Social Wellness
Fujisawa SST emphasizes "Social Wellness" to address issues of isolation in urban society. The project has designed a "Wellness Square", a large central area that includes various services such as health clinics, elderly care centers, childcare facilities, and community activity spaces. This design promotes intergenerational interaction, fostering a sense of belonging to the community and mutual support, which is a crucial foundation for good mental health.
3. Smart Safety for Peace of Mind
Safety is a fundamental aspect of well-being. Fujisawa SST employs the concept of a "Virtual Gated Town"—there are no physical barriers, but technology is used to ensure safety. The city is equipped with surveillance cameras and sensor systems, including smart streetlights that automatically illuminate when someone passes by, along with security personnel patrolling the area. These measures create a safe environment, allowing residents to feel relaxed and confident in enjoying outdoor life at all times.
4. Design for Active Living
The city is designed to promote physical health through daily movement (Active Living) by prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists over cars. A "Greenway" or extensive green pathway connects throughout the city, making walking or cycling for errands easy and enjoyable. Additionally, parks are distributed throughout to encourage residents to exercise and connect with nature.
