With the opening of the Chūō Shinkansen (Maglev) in sight, urban redevelopment is progressing in Hashimoto, Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. The city promotes a vision called “Hashimoto—where the Linear connects people to a step-ahead future,” planning integrated development of the station and surrounding area. Against this backdrop, a collaborative project called Botac has launched, led by Keio Corporation, Green Display Co., Ltd., and Konel Inc.. By using plant-based power generation, the initiative reimagines the station as an environment that evolves through citizen participation. It serves as a symbolic project that aims to transform Hashimoto into a “laboratory for the future.”
