[Streaming Now]Symposium on Tsukuba Super Science City

On September 28th, the Mayor Igarashi participated in "Symposium on Tsukuba Super Science City"  which was a main session for Tsukuba Global Science Week(TGSW)2022.

(Note)What is Tsukuba Global Science Week ?
The University of Tsukuba has organized Tsukuba Global Science Week (TGSW) since 2010 in Tsukuba Science City as a platform for discussion about measures to create a better future by sharing cutting-edge research results in a wide variety of disciplines.

The spirit of the SDGs is "No one is left behind," in which society as a whole embraces and supports each and every individual. Tsukuba City is working to bring together the world's best science and technology to promote social implementation of cutting-edge technologies such as digital and robotics for transforming urban functions.

The SDGs aim to create a resident-centered super city that overcomes social issues with no clear exit and realizes innovative livability, while deepening connections between residents and government. In this symposium, we discussed the vision of the super city including its residents.
