These stations can help develop their understanding of numbers, shapes, patterns, and measurements in an interactive and engaging manner.

Tokyo Bay is the home to a plan for a new smart city, which will hopefully be sustainable and actually end up being built. Over the years. there have been quite a lot of these places touted as being the next / first / best 'Smart City' / 'Sustainable City' etc. going back to Masdar (or even earlier if you can think of earlier examples).
