AI Supercity Capitals

 Supercity Caoitals are designed so that 20 million peoples livelihoods develop as win wins and these connection also build livelihoods of the whole nation and with win-win trades with clusters of o0ther nations

Tokyo is Asia's benchmark supercapital and has been since 1964 or earlier when the Tokyo olympics was also the first global satellite broadcast with influencers like thye teenage price charles attending and making lifelong friendships both with Japan Emperor family and the head of Sony Akio Morita. More recently Jpan has tried to spread its world sity k=inteligence 3 times. 1 world city fair was due to have a whole suburb of tokyo portal distrtict redesigned in 1996 but the plans had to be shelved with 1991's property bubble which has stopped a generation of japanese youth from deep inteligence innovation. Fortunately Taiwan had from 1987 bet its natipon on continuing the extrem chip innovation which japan had bbeen the first market making clients of intel from start of moore's law 1965..

Tokyo and seoul-incleon became teh first two 5000 square miles sy=upoercities which mayb have included as much as 100 miles of cpoastalin- shnaghai became china's first 5000 aquare mile city


The far east asian coast has many supercities tokyo osaka seoul as well as island superports

London, New York, Paris, Mumbai are all candidtaes starting from a more western viewpoint

es, several other megacity ports in Asia implement initiatives similar to the Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ), aiming to boost trade, investment, and economic growth within their larger metropolitan areas. These often take the form of Free Trade Zones (FTZs) or Special Economic Zones (SEZs). 
Examples of such initiatives
  • China:
    • Shanghai: The Shanghai Free Trade Zone (SFTZ) was launched as a pilot program to promote international trade and finance, attracting multinational corporations like General Electric, IBM, and Pfizer with incentives such as reduced tariffs and simplified customs procedures.
    • Shenzhen: The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, established in 1980, played a significant role in shaping China's economic law on foreign trade and investment and continues to attract investment with its favorable policies.
    • Guangdong: The Guangdong Free Trade Zone (GFTZ), established in 2015, promotes trade, investment, and financial cooperation between China and the world with preferential policies and measures, according to FDIChina.
  • Other Asian Countries:
    • South Korea: Beyond Incheon, South Korea has established several other Free Economic Zones (FEZs), including Busan-Jinhae, Gwangyang Bay Area, and Gyeonggi, which offer a range of benefits and incentives to attract foreign investment.
    • Taiwan: Taiwan operates seven free trade zones, including six seaports and one airport, to facilitate trade and business incorporation.
    • Vietnam: Vietnam has expanded its development zone policy to include 18 coastal economic zones and 325 state-supported industrial parks.
    • Singapore: Singapore has multiple free trade zones, primarily for transhipment cargoes, and is considered a prime example of a successful free trade hub. 
Key takeaways
  • These zones typically leverage the existing port infrastructure of the megacity to facilitate international trade and logistics.
  • They often offer incentives like tax exemptions, streamlined customs procedures, and relaxed regulations to attract foreign investment and stimulate economic activity.
  • While they share similarities with Incheon, each zone may have a specific focus on industries or economic activities, like Shanghai's focus on finance and technology or South Korea's FEZ's focus on biotech and aviation. 

These examples demonstrate a widespread adoption of the free trade zone model in major Asian port cities, all aiming to foster economic growth and attract foreign investment within their larger metropolitan areas, much like the Incheon Free Economic Zone.
