Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town, Panasonic’s state-of-the-art sustainable town

Panasonic has been dreaming big lately, and is busy sketching out plans for a smart-town that might just find its place in Japan if all goes as planned. The country recovering from the recent wake of natural disasters might just have a new housing community, a fully sustainable town, being designed by Panasonic along with eight other companies. Formally a factory facility site, Panasonic plans to sow the seeds for a 1,000-home smart-town that will cover about 47 acres, called the Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town project. The town will use some pretty state-of-the-art technology to keep its energy usage as low as possible and will also hook on to renewable energy sources like the sun.

With electric vehicles doing the rounds, solar panels propped up on every roof and energy storage systems packed into every home; this could be the greenest township in the world!
