Description
This fully revised edition of one of the earliest titles in the "World Cities" series, provides a portrait of a complex and rapidly changing metropolis. The text looks at the problems that Tokyo poses for city planners and suggests ways of improving the urban environment. In addition, it analyzes the structures and function of the city. The work takes the reader on a tour of Tokyo's districts and landmarks: the imperial palace in the heart of the city, the prosperous commercial centres of Shinjuku and Shibuya, the nightlife district of Roppongi, traditional neighbourhoods in "old Tokyo" along the Sumida River and the comfortable communities of the fast-growing west side. This book offers an introductory text for students of urban studies and geography, as well as those with an interest in Tokyo.
