■Outline｜

Metastasizing cities in the midst of crisis. The Irish Potato Famine, once called the "Great Famine," triggered a major urban transition
that divided the ages. After the Great East Japan Earthquake and COVID-19, how are Japanese cities going to change now? In oursummer course, planners, engineers and researchers will give lectures on advanced practices of cities around Japan for social
implementation of sensing technology and urban transition. The lectures will consist of fundamentals and applications. We will learn
about advanced sensing technologies for urban flows, from image processing and laser radar to autonomous driving. We will also hearan overview of smart cities in progress in an attractive group of cities in Japan, and learn about advanced urban management practices
in various regions. We have prepared tutorials by experts in the field and keynote lectures by leading experts, as well as practicalattempts at urban transition, such as the autonomous driving project and the Busta project. This is an opportunity to learn more about
Japanese smart cities. We hope you will join us.
