I agree that Tokyo is sprawl having been there it was pretty shit when you realize that there are minimal parks and it takes a while to get from the city center to the outskirts. I now know why Masanobu Fukuoka rebelled against the machine
I think Japan would've be a lot more healthy in the long run if they took a planned Sovietsky approach especially considering they urbanized over their breadbasket. We'll never know what caused them to do such foorish things
Culture?
American occupation?
Economic reasons? Maybe they wanted to have a more independent private sector.
