The global spread of infections caused by COVID-19 has suddenly and unexpectedly presented humankind with an era that has been dubbed the “new normal.” In all fields, including education, medicine, culture, the fine arts, sports, commerce and tourism, existing forms of communication are being questioned, and this is driving a transformation in the very way people live. In this new era, what kind of lives will we lead, and how will society develop?
Since its inception, Kyoto Smart City Expo 2020 has continued to ask what is needed to build a truly “smart society.” To address this question, we have invited knowledge experts from a wide range of fields to this event. We hope this will help to provide humankind with answers on a global scale.
