The Millennium Town (MT) will be an innovative and sustainable town established to promote international cooperation and sustainable development,. It is a town located in the Greater Bangkok region that will be a culturally diversified, socially interdependent, safe, caring and economically sustainable “city” in Thailand. Conceptually, MT will be developed and modeled on the United Nations’ Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development Goals) blueprint, an outcome of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, which focuses on sustainable development. Physically and environmentally, MT will be designed to become the first model town that features all facilities and services that a Smart City/Green Town will provide. It focuses on products and services that concentrate on advanced and hi-technology to make life safe, easy, and convenient, and productive.

MT will be specifically created for active Japanese professional retirees (age 55+) and green multinational corporations (MNCs) already doing business in Thailand or planning to invest in Thailand or the ASEAN Economic Community  (AEC). As a global city, MT will serve as a center for the exchange of people, goods, capital, and information, as well as for technology and research to offer a better quality of life for its residents, but also for other actively aging populations around the globe. 

One unique feature of this project is that it offers opportunities for active Japanese retirees who wish to stay healthy and productive by using their personal and professional abilities to work at their own pace after retirement.  The residents of MT will serve as part-time advisors, coaches, trainers, mentors, or volunteers in projects aimed at promoting  sustainable development. and their professional experience, skills, knowledge, know-how and interests will be matched with public- or privately-funded projects in Thailand.
