Tokyo, officially ""Tokyo Metropolis,"" is the capital of Japan and
the island nation's hub of business, government, education, and
mass media. Though Tokyo boasts the largest metropolitan economy in
the world, its residents must contend with having the highest cost
of living in the world, and one of the most crowded cities (more
than 5,000 people per square mile). It's also experienced a
protracted recession, has an aging population, and is at risk from
earthquakes. Despite its problems, Tokyo is one of the planet's
most important economic centers, with global corporations and
exciting modern architecture. Tokyo retains a strong cultural
identity, with traditional celebrations taking place throughout the
year. City leaders have invested in large-scale plans extending to
2025 to reduce traffic and pollution, and link far-flung
neighborhoods with new rail and road-building programs. Offering a
21st-century introduction to the high-tech, go-go home of samurai,
sushi, anime, and manga, ""Tokyo"" combines clearly presented facts
about history, culture, and growth with discussions about key
issues. The text is supported with maps, charts, statistics, and
revealing interviews with city residents.
