The Transporati, a blog dedicated to the discovery of innovative policies and practices in urban/transport planning and microeconomics. It tries to look at them all at once for new possibilities.
The author is studying in Japan for his master degree in urban transportation. As he is wandering around Tokyo, one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the world, he is always amazed by its immensity. That's all? No. He is also attracted by the numerous small trails and streets inherited from the Edo period (江戸時代). To anyone who is interested in Japanese cities and their historical development, I will recommend this book, The Making of Urban Japan: Cities and Planning from Edo to the Twenty First Century.
