People from different parts of the world choose to live in Tokyo because of the many ways it has attracted the world, since it is such a large city with beautiful sightseeings and an enjoyable atmosphere. The overpopulation in Tokyo is what causes it to be a megacity. With all the job opportunities, education, entertainment and good living conditions, this attracts people to move into the city which then causes the overpopulation of the city itself to rise up the charts, and considering recent research, it has been seen that Tokyo is on the top list of megacities as the highest populated city in Asia. This essay will be focused on how the 4 main factors, job opportunities, education, entertainment and living conditions affect the population of a city which in my case is Tokyo.

Many experts talk about how contradictions bring about change and eventually reinvention, but the interesting thing about Little Tokyo is that the change is actually the source of new contradictions as the neighborhood struggles to maintain its cultural identity while also expanding and transforming to attract more leisure seekers. There is no question that change will occur in Little Tokyo, the question is, as F. Kaid Benfield puts it, “whether that change can be managed so that it inures to the benefit of Asian-American residents, institutions and businesses, and whether it will be environmentally sustainable.”
Japan has always been a small country large economic structure. The need for labor at low wages it a great appeal to many countries
The problems caused by the urbanization phenomenon also deal with the decreased quality of health care and medicine provision for the mass people in the cities. The negative effects of urbanization are scaring the people, and many of them choose to turn back from the urban places to previous places where they lived. Nevertheless, not everything about urbanization tends to be perceived in the dark light. For example, urbanization brings the growth and development of commercial activities and contributes to the social and cultural integration. Respectively, this phenomenon cannot only be viewed as the negative one but should also be regarded for its positive impacts. To achieve this, the people need to find out the ways of bringing forward the benefits of urbanization and reducing its negative impacts on the lives of

Over the years, many cities, particularly large cities, around the world have had tremendous problems and had suffered massively from the huge number of population in that city. One of those massive cities is Mexico City. Mexico City, being very popular in Mexico, is unbelievably overpopulated. Several factors caused this overpopulation. This over population affects the people in many various ways negatively. It affects the geography and climate of the city, causes pollution, and a housing crisis.
In the documentary, The City (1939), the filmmakers examine the problems of large overpopulated cities and advocates the creation of new suburban communities that will benefit the average modern family. It details the harmful environment that large cities create for the habitants in the area. While, also providing specific facts on the advantages of suburban communities. As in The City (1939,) both articles by Buckley and Wirth tackle the topic of urbanism. In Urbanism as a Way of Life, Wirth describes the nature of a city and the ways a city affect its inhabitants. While, Newcomers Adjust, Eventually, to New York, focuses on the difficulties of living in a city and how hard it is to call it home.

When one thinks of Japan, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Advanced technology? Video games? Weird T.V. shows and anime? Before Japan began its transition into technology and advancement, they were in an era of both military action and strong nationalism which still impacts them today. Japan's military power and control over the East Asian region was its strongest feature for several hundred years. This changes dramatically with the 20th Century. By the turn of the century, Japan's strives to modernize and stay relevant to the global economy and system was its most vital aspect.
People are drawn to cities due to utility; it is easier to find things that an individual may not necessarily have simply due to the concentration of people in a city. This means that people are forced into acting in commune with others, to engage in “urbanitas” or good behavior while in contact with other humans who use the city for utility too. The built environment of the city necessitates this change in social behavior.
Rapid growth period has experienced various changes in Japanese society. From urbanization to educational improvement, from women’s workplace to environmental degradation, from family structure to technological products Japanese have both enjoyed and suffered during the rapid growth period starting within mid- 1950s and continuing until 1970s. One of the social mobility was migration from rural areas to urban which concluded with over-population of urban areas and oppositely starting point of de- population of rural areas. The outcomes of this development were increasing pollution in cities, decreasing agricultural production because of migration of farmers to cities, unavoidable congestion phenomena such as traffic jams, and a shortage of urban infrastructure. (Welfare and Capitalism, in Post-war Japan) Those were products of post-war rapid growth in Japan. Places like Tokyo had been suffered these factors. However, industrialization intensified around cities and caused to emerge air and water pollution which directly affected people who lived in those regions. As a final, many disasters occurred during those times which pushed the government to take measures in order to halt pollution as a consequence of rapid industrialization. (I do not prefer to give statistical data in order not to get drowned with numbers) On the other hand, over- population of cities emerged new things in the cities like suburban regions (slums) and commuter rail lines. Additionally, this de- population of rural areas during post- war economic recovery would lead to emerge campaign in 1980s and 1990 such as ‘village revival’ and ‘hom...
Japan has the 3rd largest economy in the world; Japan had created successful brands that are famous across the globe such like Toyota, Sony, Fujifilm and Panasonic.
Japan is one of the greatest countries in the world and it has offered many things as well. The Japanese have given the world a better understanding of their culture and history along with a good look at the future from a technological standpoint. They have developed and created the future for their country that has allowed them to be prosperous and powerful. They once isolated themselves from the rest of the world, but now they share their knowledge with other countries in order to create a better understanding of the world. Through their trade and creative thinking they have become one of the world’s largest and powerful countries and have allowed their economy to flourish and prosper.
For the past decade, the Japanese economy has been one of the strongest and most stable economies in the world. In analyzing why it has been so successful, several factors must be considered. First, the education system of Japan is one of the highest ranked in the world. The reason for this is that Japanese children go to school and study more than students in most other countries. The school year lasts for 240 days and each school day is very long. Furthermore, most students go to "cram schools" to study even more after the regular school day is over. This is all in preparation for the college entrance exam (Morton, 251-255). Some people have also said that this prepares Japanese youth for their future in companies with jobs that require great dedication and 80 to 90 hour work weeks.
