Japan MLIT infrastructure and mobility initiatives

Overview

Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) is implementing various digital and structural initiatives to modernize infrastructure and mobility.

Initially, the ministry established a working group dedicated to the utilization of open data to support pedestrian space mobility. This effort focuses on enhancing mobility within pedestrian-oriented environments through data-driven support.

Subsequently, the ministry expanded its focus toward construction industry reforms. MLIT aims to increase productivity and implement work-style reforms by utilizing digital technologies, such as AI, and promoting ‘i-Construction 2.0’. These strategies include addressing environmental challenges like extreme heat and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in adopting ICT. Additionally, the ministry is working to secure public works budgets for the 2027 fiscal year that account for rising labor and material costs.
