Positive Effects of Big Cities Big City Infrastructure

Big cities provide easy access topublic facilities and social benefits,

like hospitals, libraries, schools

and universities.

People living in larger cities often

have better access to adequate

policing (safety) and public health

services

Often the water supply, sanitation

infrastructure, energy supplies,

transportation (both road network

and public transport), and

communications are focal points

of urban development and tend tobe more developed in cities

versus rural areas,

Positive Effects of Big Cities Economic Opportunities

Urbanization offers real economic

opportunities that often do not

exist in rural/small town

environments.

The number and types of jobs, as

well as level of salaries, is often

very limited in rural areas and

small towns There is an overall growth in

commercial opportunities with

urbanization, resulting in more

profits and more jobs.

Growing demand for urban

expansion and development in

less-developed countries, requires

an increased level of public and

private investment. These

investments eventually raise the

standard of living and provide new

employment opportunities.

TOKYO Tokyo, Edo in her former name, was

founded in the 12th century. Tokyo History

was started by a local aristocrat, Edo Taro

Shigenada,

The castle passed in 1590 to Ieyasu

Tokugawa, founder of the Tokugawa line of

shoguns.

The Tokugawa shogunate (Gneralship) wasestablished in 1603 with Edo as its seat of

government. The emperors residence and

formal capital remained in Kyoto.

The overthrow of the Tokugawa Shogunate

and the restoration of Imperial rule in 1868

led to the rapid modernization andWesternization of Japan.

TOKYO Renamed Tokyo [East capital] by the young

Emperor Meiji, the city would from here on outserve as Japan's new national, and Imperial,

capital.

The civil war-cum-revolution that ended a 250-

year old status quo signaled the conclusion of

Japan's self-imposed isolation as a feudal

backwater and the beginning of an unprecedented

and rapid industrial, political, and culturaltransformation into a modern world state and

world power.

In the headlong rush toward modernization, Tokyo

led the metamorphosis the whole of Japan

underwent in a few decades. For the foreign

expatriate, the city represented a modern

landscape of trading opportunities andexploitation. For the typical Tokyo-ite, and any out-

country Japanese visiting the new capital, it was

metropolis wonderland of many marvelous and

wonderful new creations and adapted ideas.

TOKYO Many of Tokyo's oldest, most historic

buildings were lost in two cataclysmicevents:

The 1923 Great Kanto earthquake

The 1923 Tokyo earthquake

killed130,000 people.

What wasnt destroyed by the quake

was burned in subsequent fires.

This was the biggest disaster in the

history of Japan.

The fire-bombings of the city during the final

months of the Pacific War in 1945.

The Economy In Japan: The Lost Decade

The economic miracle ended unexpectedly at

the start of the nineties. The bubble ended in

a massive crash in the stock market, a debt

crisis, and a crisis in the banking sector. That era is known as the lost decade in the

economy of Japan. Tokyo economic growth

came to a total stop during the nineties.

TOKYO

Social Graces Punctuality: Japan runs on a schedule,and being on time means being five to

ten minutes early

Blowing your nose in public is

considered to be bad manners. Excuse

yourself and go into the restroom.

Talking in Public: If youre traveling with

others on the subway, keep your voice

down. Youll be the only one heard if

you speak loudly.Steve Beimel,

founder, Esprit Travel & Tours,

People in Japan bow -- a lot. It's their

version of the handshake, only more

complex, and failing to return a bow is

considered impolite

The Japanese are gift-givers. If you're

invited to their homes (very rare, as theculture tends to entertain in public

places), bring a gift
