38 million people are NOT the residents of the CITY of Tokyô (23-ku 23区), it is the population of the PREFECTURE Tôkyô (Tôkyô-to 東京都)!

Not that great. Look at the news this shit collapsed while 20 people were on it 11 in hospital

Everything in Japan have a reason for being, when I was there I saw things that didn't make sense TO ME but once I asked why? They always had a logical explanation that I had never thought of. We have the habit of judging without first knowing and asking. This is Japan, a country that on the outside doesn't make much sense but on the inside it works and has always a purpose.

Wtf? I get this was filmed a while ago but dropping this now without any preface or comment in the description is wild.

That was great :)

Toronto is Boring as HELL like the rest of North America

But saying "Tokyo has a population of 38 million" together with a map of Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolis) is really misleading if not misinforming. 38 million is the population of Greater Tokyo Area, which includes six more prefectures in addition to Tokyo. Tokyo itself, the area shown in the map, has no more than 12.5 million people living in it.

Mikael, will you please come to Los Angeles and fix all of our problems? ;)

Israel where Life is seized

4th generation Torontonian and it is a great city. I believe our identity is a great multi-cultural city. We call them streetcars not trams. My mother used to call the subway the streetcar as it is and was such a part of our city.

Is this guys voice really this loud? Good video though. Grew up in T.O but def glad I’m out. Too flat and spread out(car centric)

This is pretentious nonsense. Unwatchable!

This guy is the Anthony Bourdain of Urbanism.

i Know I'm super late to the video, but were you trolling @ 11:57? Because that a picture of the interior of Real Madrid's stadium.

My daughter who lives in Tampa came back for a visit and was shocked to see T.O become visibly mostly E. Indian. Like, everywhere.

Hand in Hand. Let’s hope those children hold the future. Well done Mikael.🙌

From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi

Watashi Taito-ku kara desu! 😊

His neighborhood formed naturally, by the people who moved there. It happened gradually. The 15- minute city as conceived by the globalists is a bunch of bureaucrats sitting in their little cubicles PLANNING how we will live our lives from the time we open our eyes in the morning until we go to sleep. I lived in the most "diverse" neighborhood in L.A. It happened naturally. But the bureaucrat-planned "affordable housing" projects would be filled by people of various ethnic groups in a way so as to conform to "their" ideas of "diversity".

Shame in 2024 nothing much has changed. This, while there are constant reminders to use bicycles, walk and use public transport.

Plenty of people who support a genocide... No thanks

The video quality is horrible. Did you guys film it with a VHS camera? How is it possible to film video of such quality in the 21st century?

It might make sense to turn off commenting on this particular video as people are not mentally able to do that themselves.

Free Palestine. This is like watching someone go back in time to apartheid Johannesburg and going 'wow check out the buses!' 🤡

This video was filmed in 2019 today Tel Aviv is much more modern with dozens of new skycrapers and all the streets are innovated and light rail is running from Petach Tikva,Bnei Brak,Ramat Gan,Tel Aviv,Bat yam..🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

He came in very neutral with focus showing the city amidst a controversy. That's very brave. Nice episode

First few times in Japan I could not stand Tokyo, could never get a handle on it. Then I was advised by a few of my Japanese relatives to only consider Tokyo to be just what is with in the Yamanote, and what you could comfortably walk to from the Yamanote stations... everything else is just other cities that happen to border on Tokyo - and administrative wise this is not far from the truth even though that "personal map" of Tokyo doesn't line up with the official borders. Since working on that theory I learnt to love the city

as a Canadian (which has almost no bike infra in its car-infested ugly cities), I'll take bridge no question asked, please give us half of that bridge

I can't watch this, it makes me ill. Please get a stabilizer.

If that's what you want...have at it. The problem is, the supporters of this always want to foist this on the rest of us. As for me I prefer to live 30 miles outside of a major Northeastern city....in my smallish, single family home on my half acre, in my low density historic town. Enjoy your conformity.

“Tel Aviv, eh?” *everyone shifting uncomfortably but politely* “Alrighty.”

yeah, more of this left-wing crying in comments, please!

Watching this video is like reading a good book that’s had its last chapter ripped out

The Life-Sized Genocide, huh? "Cultural divide" lmao. You should do a video from Rafah, to see how the Israelis are working "to create a better city". I'm sure you believe that you're against apartheid, but releasing this video is really just pro-settler colonialism propaganda. Great stuff!

From the river to the sea

Right from the capital of a genocidal state. Next stop, The Hague.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

This should be a measured and calm comment section. Peace upon every human

"Shops and restaurants are usually open 24 hours a day." Uh, no they're not. Most restaurants and shops keep normal business hours--heck, the department stores don't even open until 11 a.m. in many cases. A few chain restaurants (beef bowl places, the so-called "family restaurant" coffee shops) are open around the clock. More surprisingly, the massive network of subways and trains mostly stop running by midnight--ostensibly one reason those networks run so well and are kept so clean.

fascinating & very revealing episode to understand Tokyo as an urban marvel and how its inhabitants use it. Thanks Mikael

Wow!!! I was born in Toronto, but have lived in South Fl for 30 years. This is so inspiring and I can’t wait to visit and hopefully witness some of these initiatives this summer! Thank you!!🙌

Cosplaying as Anthony Bourdain. Sad.

I wonder if the 'smooth cobbles' are actually original cobblestones that have simply lifted, had a new surface cut and then re-laid insitu. That is the process the Council I used to work for used (when we could afford it because it was bloody expensive), but we generally only had the bluestone pavers in the gutters and on the road edge, not across the entire road surface.

Too peaceful for the rest

Yeah. Bicycles are so crazy, replace them all with cars and things get better...

Place de la République was totally ruined by corrupt mayor Hidalgo, she cut all trees and now it looks like a square from 70s somewhere in Soviet Union. The lack of trees on this square makes it unbearable to be there.

This is so funny that this blogger showed renderings of urban forests in Paris. They are not happening, corrupt mayor Hidalgo admitted recently, that this is not feasible. Those images were created for her election campaign and since she’s a big liar she has never planned on making them reality

No single driver in Paris respect the speed limit of 30k/h. Corrupt mayor Hidalgo had to backtrack on it.

This is a well known fact that worst and the most corrupt mayor in the history of France, gives big checks to bloggers. And it makes a sense. No one who lives in Paris would agree with this blogger, especially when he says that Paris overcame Copenhagen. This is not true. Any city or town in Northern Europe has better urbanism and better planning. Shame on this blogger for letting corrupt Hidalgo bribe him.

Race plays a role that capitalism, race mixing propaganda, and miscegenation itself cannot subsidize. Our environments are our built environments. I wouldn't expect bees to build bird nests. Or wasps to produce honey. You can paint a zebra all day, doesnt make it a horse. The hermit crab occupies the past built environment of the sea snail. It is not in the crabs nature to build anew, but to occupy a past ruins of another more capable creature. All the colonial capitals that White people built remain as the urban cores and new renamed capitols of African, Asia, India, everywhere! Hong Kong and Singapore are the most gleeming financial sucess, but Cape Town and Macau really achieved environments that are truly Cradle to Grave. Australia and America had tram cars, which most were private operations despite being public and urban amenities, trolley parks were also private. Car centrism is an understudied subject and purposely recast to deflect blame from bankers.... Car centrism started in California as a proletariat revolt against baron railroad monopolies. Who at the time, controlled expansion of where people went. The automobile was not mass adopted until after the private railroads were destroyed by insidius bankers who wanted several outcomes. In california they wanted to expand beyond just the private control of mass landpurchases from the raildeveloper tracts. They had better urbansim, resource old Venice Beach, it was way more canals than it is now. Yes the California one! And Huntington beach is the namesake town for the man who owned another set of railways. Essentially fighting them was a social failure, as they did provide more, remember the precious red line from that disney movie? IT WAS A PRIVATE TRAM LINE, but the bankers were not happy with controlled growth. As SFM as a monetary vehicle were more profitable and could be used to boost the broader economy and enrichen many at the same time and down the line. So they inject blacks and brown criminals into historically White city cores and White racial covenants for the express purpose of driving new single family home sales in sprawling suburbia. Where bankers profit off the home and car insurance, home and car upkeep cost, lawn cost. But they try to recast it as 'White flight' as if wanting safety for our children was a crime. They burnt down cities all across America once blacks were invited into the inner neighborhoods. Why should the poorest deserve the best access, and not the progeny of those who actually constructed it?
