The Future of Community and Mobility Week
Maximizing the impact that the SCMaglev Chuo Shinkansen delivers
Central Japan Railway Company
In this program, experts will discuss what is needed to maximize the economic impact of HSR projects, based on the example of Tokaido Shinkansen in Japan. The program also will examine the social impact of the SCMaglev Chuo Shinkansen project, such as CO2 emission reduction and redundancy to manage major disasters such as earthquakes. This is aimed at exploring HSR's potential as a solution to social issues many countries will face in the future.

Programme details
The launch of SCMaglev Chuo Shinkansen will link the three major metropolitan areas in Japan in just one hour to shape a "Super Mega Region." It will herald new lifestyles and work styles that combine high-speed transport with digital technology, and lay the foundation for generating dynamic innovations and new cultures, thereby reinforcing Japan's international competitive edge to drive the nation's growth. In addition to these direct economic impacts, the SCMaglev Chuo Shinkansen is also expected to reduce risks associated with climate change and urban resilience. In particular, regarding climate change, the SCMaglev Chuo Shinkansen will provide a new form of transportation with excellent environmental performance, while facilitating the modal shift (from cars and airplanes to HSR) previously thought to be physically impossible. By this, dramatic socio-economic development will be achieved while mitigating CO2 emission, which could become the world's model case in building a decarbonized society. Against this background, diverse stakeholders will be brought together for a forum to amass far-reaching insight in order to draw out the impact of the SCMaglev Chuo Shinkansen to the maximum extent.
