No 2022/11, RSCAS Working Papers from European University Institute

Abstract: Smart city developments at home and abroad present Japan with various socioeconomic and strategic opportunities and challenges. This policy paper outlines the evolution of the Japanese government’s interest in facilitating the domestic uptake of technologies associated with smart city platforms and the drivers of Tokyo’s international cooperation within the smart city paradigm. It also describes intersecting national security and economic considerations that are of increasing interest to Japan’s security policymakers. The paper concludes by outlining tensions between Tokyo’s promotion of smart city platforms and its economic security agenda.
