Why do Tokyoites feel so comfortable in what they call their “neighbourhoods”?The unbridled architecture and technology of T?ky? makes it a future-facing megacity. But get closer and we notice that its urban planning its varied and hybrid. We can pick out its “neighbourhoods”, each of which proves to be a kind of mid-sized city, a mecagity in miniature, on a human scale.This feeling of well-being arises from the permanent safety and cleanliness of the “neighbourhood”, which is cleaned daily by its residents…But it is not simply a question of feeling comfortable there. For Tokyoites, the “neighbourhood” is like an extension of the home.
