Movement
People - The movement of people through Toyko has only been good since the 12th century. In the 1700s so many people went to Tokyo that it became the most populous metropolitan city on the planet. Migration has not just gone bad for Tokyo lately, but for all of Japan, ever since the earthquakes, tsunami and Nuclear reactor problems that have been going off. There has been tons of public safety concerns. It has made the country, and Tokyo lose there population. Other than that Tokyo is the hub for all the new technology innovations of East Asia because of the modern city and how technologically advanced the city is. Being so modern, it draws the attention to many young people to travel there or move there. Subway or train means the main travel in Tokyo. Japan railways is operated by the government and has several lines with in Tokyo. The main line being the Yamanote Line, which runs in a circle all around the city and connects to the other trains and subway lines. There are also several private trains. There are two subway companies Toei and Teito. The subway lines are getting extended into the suburbs. There are buses to. The public transportation makes the city run. Tokyo is a lot like NYC, where there cars but it is so busy that most people do not have cars. Public transportation is much faster than cars because there is a lot of car traffic. Most people chose public transportation over cars.

Movement has affected the culture of Tokyo because the ideas that go there affect the economy which then affects the people and culture. It has shaped the culture because with all the innovative technology there, it has made the city seem to be really innovative to you and me, and the people that live there. Again the goods have affected the culture just like the ideas, the exports are innovative ideas going to work. The imports do not shape the culture dramatically. People have affected the culture by being the biggest metropolitan city in the world.
