About the Cover

 

Pedestrians in the Streets of Tokyo, Japan

Formerly known as Edo, the city was renamed Tokyo by the emperor Meiji in 1868.  With 30 million inhabitants, Tokyo is the world's most populous urban area, stretching over 87 miles along the eastern coast of the island of Honshu.  Repeatedly destroyed by fires, earthquakes, and especially bombing in World War II, Tokyo is constantly undergoing change and boasts many innovative architectural projects.   Beyond the busy intersections and freeways lies a city of hidden villages, each with its own individual identity, and where bicycles are osten more common than cars.
