Regional geography relies on two main approaches. The traditional one addresses each geographical element of a region individually and in depth, in a descriptive and static manner. The other focuses on a region?s specific phenomena and realities as a starting point and proceeds to identify the region?s constituent elements and their interactions, which it records and explains in a systematic and dynamic manner. The present volume, unlike its predecessors, relies on the dynamic approach and endeavors to offer a fresh view of Tokyo?s new and diverse geographical realities, analyzed in a holistic, systematic manner allowing identification of its specific features. The book covers a broad range of topics including landform variations and volcanic activity, biodiversity concerns, transportation management, waste management, population issues, religious functions, and urban tourism, all of which facilitate understanding of the unique characteristics of Tokyo.  Extensive views from different fields of studies make the book a valuable reference to comprehend both the development of Tokyo into a global city and its sustainability. 410 0$aInternational Perspectives in Geography, AJG Library,$x2197-7798 ;$v8 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19000 606 $aPhysical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions). 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 676 $a307.76 702 $aKikuchi$b Toshio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSugai$b Toshihiko$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299379903321 996 $aTokyo as a Global City$92512053 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01183nas 2200373-a 450 001 996215395303316 005 20240111213018.0 011 $a1553-8737 035 $a(OCoLC)57205544 035 $a(CKB)1000000000024971 035 $a(CONSER)--2004216529 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000024971 100 $a20041210a20059999 s-- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCalifornia economic policy $eCEP 210 $aSan Francisco, Calif. $cPublic Policy Institute of California 300 $aTitle from journal home page (viewed July 25,2006). 311 $a1552-2105 517 3 $aCEP 606 $aEconomic policy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00902025 607 $aCalifornia$xEconomic policy$vPeriodicals 607 $aCalifornia$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJt8p3GDkhpJkC9y6FY3wC 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 7$aEconomic policy. 676 $a338.9794 712 02$aPublic Policy Institute of California. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996215395303316 996 $aCalifornia economic policy$92577010 997 $aUNISA
