Toyota is the latest entry into concept cities, called Woven City, will be built from scratch to test Smart City technology. Limited to around 2,000 residents, it will certainly not be affordable to the average citizen in Japan.
A key element to total surveillance is geospatial tracking (GeoInt) and monitoring of everything that moves. GeoInt was originally developed by the military for the military, but now it will power Smart Cities around the globe.
The anti-human agenda of Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy, has population reduction as one of its main objectives. UN "experts" believe that the earth can only support around 1 billion humans.
The Green agenda has taken on a life of its own and will not be stopped except by total defeat. The "ban cars from city centers" movement is now global in scope, including in American cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Three years in prison is barely a slap on the hand in China, but three researchers who performed gene-editing experiments on embryos are busted for practicing medicine without a license. Alas, Technocracy marches on.
For consumers, 5G will quickly lose its luster but 5G was never about end-users in the first place. Its real value is to light up the Internet of Things (IoT) that will enable command-and-control over entire cities.
