Background to the Asia Smart City Conference (ASCC)We regard Smart City Development as sustainable city development. It should raise the quality of life of citizens by promoting

well-balanced sustainable development and making use of diverse and innovative technologies created by public and private

sector partnerships. Many discussions about Smart Cities have taken place on the international scene. Now is the time to move

forward and take concrete actions based on those discussions.

The Asia Smart City Conference (ASCC) is an international conference that brings together representatives from Asian cities,

national governments, international organizations, academic institutions, and private companies with the aim of establishinga knowledge hub for Smart Cities. At this conference, representatives from cities present their visions for growth as well as

their current challenges and needs; private companies and academic institutions propose innovative solutions; internationalorganizations offer programs to support efforts by cities and private companies; and various best practices from around the world

are shared. The City of Yokohama has declared its intention to decarbonize by 2050 and is working with a variety of stakeholders

to develop various initiatives.

Overview

The 9th Asia Smart City Conference (ASCC)The 9th ASCC Main Event
Based on the spread of COVID-19 infection, the 9th ASCC was held in an online format for the first time. With
"Building smart cities aiming for carbon neutrality through city to city collaboration under the influence of COVID-19"
as its main theme, the conference aimed to enhance its role as a hub for information on smart city development in
Asia, and to generate more business opportunities for the creation of economically, socially, and environmentally
sustainable cities.
The main event, held on January 18, 2021, provided a forum for online communication between various companies
as well as between companies and foreign cities. The main event featured five thematic sessions on energy, waste

Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), and the World Bank Tokyo Leaning
Center (TDLC), the Yokohama Youth Event, and other sessions on a variety of topics. In the closing session, the"Yokohama Declaration" was presented as the outcome of the 9th ASCC.
On the following day, the "All Japan Summit for the Realization of a Japan-style Digital Society" organized by the
Smart City Institute was held online as a continuous event, and the City of Yokohama shared the contents of the 9th
ASCC. The “Yokohama Declaration” will also be distributed at international conferences.
This year, the Asia Smart City Alliance (ASCA) is promoting the distribution of information and exchange of opinions
on sustainable urban development on its LinkedIn and Facebook pages. In addition to promoting the urban solutionsof Yokohama-related companies on a dedicated webpage Y-PORT HUB, Slack will be used to promote mutual

Greetings and Keynote Speech
In response to the 2050 Carbon Neutral Declaration, Japanis working to strengthen its policies toward the transition to acarbon-free society. This includes a review of the Law Concerning
the Promotion of the Measures to Cope with Global Warming,
the realization of a zero-carbon city, and the expansion of global
decarbonization based on the Paris Agreement. We will continue
to work with local governments to redesign our operations tobecome a sustainable and resilient socio-economy.
Mr. KOIZUMI Shinjiro, Minister of the Environment, Japan

HAYASHI Takumi, Deputy Mayor of Yokohama City

The City of Yokohama, which was selected as a future city of
SDGs by the government, declared Zero Carbon Yokohama.
As one of the first local governments in Japan to declaredecarbonization, Yokohama is also participating in theformulation of Japan's roadmap for the realization of a carbonfree society. We will continue to contribute to the achievementof the SDGs in Japan and around the world through a strong
partnership with international organizations and overseas cities
through the Y-PORT project, based on the advanced technologies
of companies and the knowledge that the City of Yokohama has
cultivated.
The pandemic highlighted issues such as inequality ininfrastructure services and overcrowded living conditions. In
response, ADB released the “Build Back Better for Post-Pandemic
Livable Cities”, which outlined six codes of conduct on how torebuild and recover from the crisis. This will help to restore andrevitalize cities, enabling them to become more environmentallyfriendly, competitive, resilient and sustainable. Now is the time torethink urban strategies and rebuild livable cities.

Mr. Robert Guild, Chief Sector Officer, Sustainable Development
and Climate Change, Asian Development Bank

Today, it is an excellent opportunity to take measures to enablelong-term sustainable recovery and to build a solid foundation
for zero carbon with an emphasis on nature and biodiversity. We
should use technology to increase the efficiency of public service
delivery, improve urban management governance, and promotesmart urban development for a green, resilient and sustainable
