History and Regional Area Studies of Hachioji: Tokyo's Western Frontier by Tai Wei Lim
English | EPUB | 2022 | 117 Pages | ISBN : 9811661774 | 8.2 MB
This book looks at the case study of Hachioji as a major transit hub with a world-class public transportation system in Japan. It tracks how Tokyo slowly expands into its suburban, rural or sub-rural districts. It also wants to profile the multiple identities of a city that is simultaneously an ecological asset, a heritage locale in addition to a logistics hub. The volume is probably the first of its kind to analyze the western sector of the largest city in the world.
